Phone System for Contractors & Tradespeople
You're on a roof, under a house, or elbow-deep in drywall. You still need to answer the phone.
Get StartedPhone Problems Contractors & Trades Deal With Every Day
Calls while working
You can't answer the phone when you're running a table saw or up a ladder. But those calls are tomorrow's jobs.
Personal cell on everything
Your personal number is on your truck, your cards, and Yelp. Weekends and evenings never stop ringing.
No professional image
A personal voicemail greeting doesn't inspire confidence when a homeowner is choosing between three bids.
Growing crew, one phone
When you hire your first employees, they need to answer calls from the business number too.
How Tonet Solves This for Contractors & Trades
Mobile App
Answer business calls from your personal phone with your business number showing. Keep personal and work separate.
Auto Attendant
Professional greeting routes calls: "Press 1 for new estimates, 2 for existing projects." Sounds like a bigger operation.
Voicemail Transcription
Read voicemails as text between jobs. Get the address and callback number without fumbling with audio.
Call Recording
Record scope discussions with customers. When they say "that's not what we agreed to," you have proof.
Schedules
After-hours calls go straight to voicemail with a professional greeting. Reclaim your evenings.
Team Extensions
Add crew members as they join. Each gets their own extension under your business number.
Built for the Realities of Running a Trades Business
You're on a roof, under a sink, or halfway through a job site walkthrough when your phone rings. Answering isn't always an option, and that's exactly the problem. Home service businesses miss between 40% and 70% of their inbound calls simply because the work happens away from a desk [1].
The tough part is what happens next. Most callers won't leave a voicemail if you don't pick up, they just call the next contractor on the list, and 78% of jobs go to whoever responds first, not necessarily the best or cheapest option [2]. With over 3.8 million construction and trades businesses competing for the same customers [3], losing a call often means losing the job to someone down the street.
Tonet gives contractors a way to stay reachable without being chained to a phone. Calls can ring your whole crew at once, route to whoever's free, or fall back to text so a customer never hits a dead end while you're elbow deep in a project.

Questions from Contractors & Trades
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. Pick your numbers, invite your team, and start taking calls. You can port existing numbers too, which takes 1-2 weeks but your current service stays active during the transfer.
Do I need special equipment?
No. Tonet works on your existing phones, computers, and mobile devices. If you want desk phones, any standard SIP phone works (Yealink, Polycom, Grandstream). We can help you pick the right hardware.
What does "daily billing" mean?
You only pay for the days a user is active. If you add someone mid-month, you pay for those days only. If someone leaves, stop paying immediately. No prorating, no refund requests, no wasted money.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers?
Yes. We port your numbers from your current provider at no cost. The process takes 1-2 weeks, and your phones keep working during the transfer. Zero downtime.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
No contracts, no cancellation fees, no commitment. Use it for a day or a decade. Cancel anytime from your dashboard.
Your contractors & trades deserve a phone system that works as hard as you do.
Set up in 5 minutes. No contracts. Cancel anytime.
