Does the text come from the number already on the truck?
From a business number. Advanced includes a tracked number for the website and ads, with two-way texting from one app. You can forward the number on the truck and on Google, or port it. Porting a cell phone number moves it off that phone. Most plumbers forward instead and keep the personal line separate.
HVAC companies and roofers use the same forward-or-port choice. The number homeowners already have can stay published. Read the Plumbing page, the missed-call text-back guide (including the 10DLC fee table), and missed-call text templates.
Should you buy a standalone texting app?
A standalone texting app is another login and another bill, and you still need a website, a place for the emergency lead, and follow-up on the water heater estimate. Contractor Systems puts missed-call text-back in Advanced with the website, the lead inbox, automatic follow-up, and review requests. Estimate follow-up is on Pro.
