The difference

Your booking tool already reminds them. This AI texts them back before they need a reminder.

Walk-ins become a list. Regulars get a text when cadence slips. Replies get a personalized draft. Promos start with a sentence. You approve.

The core loop

Grow the list. Bring them back. Run the campaign.

01

Missed-call rescue

A missed call is a warm lead. Text them before they go cold.

You're mid-cut. The phone rings out. Waveship texts back in seconds — then a personalized reply drives the booking, in your voice.

  • The instant text-back is the one you preapprove.
  • The rest is a personalized AI reply — you tap approve.
  • A caller isn't marketing. STOP is still honored.

The foundation

Compliance isn't a feature. It's the whole reason you can text at all.

Provable consent

Every opt-in is captured with proof — the artifact a carrier or regulator would ask for.

10DLC, automated

We register your A2P campaign for you. Carriers block unregistered senders; we make sure you're not one.

STOP, instantly

Opt-outs are honored the moment they arrive, on every channel — never lost to a queue.

Quiet hours, always

Nothing sends outside legal hours in your customer's local day. Deferred, not dropped.

Pricing

Every feature on every plan

You're paying for outcomes, not unlocks. Tiered on contacts and texts; email included everywhere.

Questions

The things everyone asks first

Is texting my customers legal?
Yes, when it's done right — and doing it right is the whole point. Waveship registers your A2P 10DLC campaign for you, captures provable consent on every opt-in, honors STOP instantly, and only sends inside legal quiet hours. Nothing bypasses that check.
What is A2P 10DLC, and do I have to deal with it?
It's the carrier registration every business texting program now needs. Carriers block unregistered senders. We automate the registration during onboarding so you never touch The Campaign Registry.
Does the AI send messages on its own?
No. Every AI-written message — campaign or reply — is held for your approval. You're the one who taps send. It does the work; you keep control. (The one exception is a fixed, you-preapproved template: the instant text back after a missed call. Everything the customer says after that is drafted and waits for you.)
If I miss a call, can I really text the person back?
Yes. Replying to a customer who just called you is a conversation, not marketing — so the instant text-back is allowed, and it still honors STOP and your registration. It just isn't gated behind a marketing opt-in. If the chat turns into promotions, that's a separate opt-in we capture properly.
Do I have to switch my booking or POS system?
No — Waveship works alongside your scheduler and never replaces it. For tools with an open calendar (Google Calendar, Square Appointments, and more over time) it reads your calendar to time messages automatically; for the rest, you import your client list once and we keep the list and the marketing running from there.
Is this just appointment reminders?
No. Reminders fire after they booked. Waveship texts the next booking — and the campaign that fills a slow week. Keep your scheduler; we run the marketing.
What counts against my plan — contacts or messages?
Both, generously. Plans are tiered on contacts and monthly texts; email is included. Overage texts are a few cents each, and credits roll over one cycle.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your list is yours — export it whenever you like. No contracts; monthly or annual (annual saves two months).
