Who it's for
NextPhone is listed for solo operators and small shops (2–10 people) in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping and remodeling, and home services generally. The job it gets hired for: answering the phone when nobody in the shop can, qualifying the caller and getting the job on the calendar.
What it costs
NextPhone starts at $199/mo, per month flat. There is a free trial.
Good to know
NextPhone's point of difference is the bill: $199 a month flat with unlimited inbound calls and no per-minute charges, so a storm week costs the same as a quiet one. Pro is self-setup in minutes with a 7-day trial; Growth ($299) has NextPhone build and tune the agent for you, and Scale ($599) adds custom routing for multiple lines. It serves many industries, with dedicated pages for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping and general contractors, and the contractor setup sends leads into Jobber or Builder Prime and routes emergencies to your on-call number.
