What the phone looks like for a Birmingham locksmith
Birmingham and the wider the West Midlands has a population of around 2.6 million, built on manufacturing, logistics and a fast growing professional services sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a locksmith working across Digbeth, Edgbaston and Solihull most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Somebody standing outside their own house in the rain will ring every locksmith on the first page until one answers.
Callwise answers on your own 0121 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Birmingham locksmiths ask us
Do we keep our 0121 number?
Yes. Your existing 0121 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Birmingham customers reach you changes.
Do you work with locksmiths outside Birmingham?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Birmingham and everywhere across the West Midlands is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
How fast does it answer?
On the first ring, every time. For lockouts that is the entire competition, because the caller is standing outside and dialling numbers in order.
Can it confirm the call out fee?
Yes, up front, which cuts the wasted journeys where someone balks at the price on the doorstep.
What about break ins?
Set them as urgent. Those calls reach you immediately and the caller is told how long you will be.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Birmingham customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
