Why businesses look for an OfficeFront alternative

Monthly packages grow with call volume

OfficeFront's pricing is based on call volume. A busy period means a bigger bill. TextBack Pro is £47 per month regardless of how many calls come in, giving you full predictability on your costs.

Limited outside business hours

Live receptionist services operate within set hours. Calls that come in after 6pm, at weekends, or on bank holidays go unanswered. TextBack Pro replies automatically at any hour, including the times most customers actually call.

The caller still gets no instant reply

An agent answers, takes a message, and passes it to you. The caller is asked to wait for a callback. TextBack Pro sends the caller an SMS within 30 seconds so they know their enquiry is in hand, reducing the chance they ring a competitor.
