A local number that belongs to the business, not to somebody's phone.
Pick a local number in the area code you choose, usually live in a minute or two, and give your customers one place to text. Your personal cell goes back to being personal, and the number, the contacts, and every conversation stay with the company when a tech moves on.

Type a city. Get a local number.
When you sign up, you tell Loonext where your customers are, a city or an area code, and we find you a local number to match. A shop in Toronto gets a (416) or a (647); a shop in Austin gets a (512). The picker here runs on the same numbering data the app uses to choose your number, so what you see is what you'd get.
Local matters for a plain, common-sense reason: people answer a number that looks like it's from around the corner. A neighbourhood area code reads as a real local business, which is exactly what you are. We won't quote an invented answer-rate statistic; we'll just let you pick the code your customers already trust.
A (512) number for Austin, Texas.
US number, receiving works day one; texting turns on in about a week.
Local numbers are available across the US and Canada, in the area code you choose.
Keep the number on your trucks. Porting is free.
Already have a number your customers know, the one on your trucks, your yard signs, and your Google listing? Bring it. Porting is free and self-serve: choose "Bring my number" at signup or start it later from settings, answer a few questions about your current carrier, and we handle the carrier paperwork and show you where the transfer is the whole way.
Your number keeps working on your old carrier while it moves, usually a few days to two weeks for US numbers and often faster in Canada, then switches to Loonext on a scheduled date. Nothing on your trucks or your listing has to change, and if you want to start texting today, get a new local number now and port your existing one alongside it.
Three problems that end the day the business owns its number.
The buried quote
Quotes and bookings stop landing in one person's private messages, between the family group chat and the dentist reminder. They land on the business number, where the whole crew can see and answer them.
The tech who moved on
When a number lives on someone's personal phone, their conversations, their contacts, and sometimes their customers leave with them. A company-owned number keeps the history where it belongs.
Two front doors, on Pro
Pro includes 2 local numbers, each with its own inbox: two locations, or an office line the front desk watches and a field line for the trucks. One crew, one workspace, no bleed between them.
The first week, stated plainly
- Your number is live and receiving texts on day one.
- Texting US customers turns on in about a week, 3 to 7 business days, once the phone companies approve you. We file everything the minute you pay.
- Numbers are US and Canada only, and a number is provisioned after you subscribe, usually in a minute or two.
The precise edges
A phone number is a serious thing to hand your customers, so here is exactly how Loonext numbers work, including the limits.
- A port takes days, not minutes.
- Moving a number between carriers is a real telecom process, usually a few days to two weeks for US numbers and often faster in Canada. Your number keeps working on your current carrier the whole time and switches to Loonext on the scheduled transfer date. Nobody can truthfully promise an instant port, so we don't.
- Sole proprietors get one number.
- If you register without an EIN through the sole-proprietor path, US carrier rules cap you at a single number regardless of plan. Register with an EIN to use Pro's second number.
- A number requires a paid plan.
- The phone companies charge for every number, and free numbers attract the spam that wrecks delivery for everyone. A number is provisioned only after you subscribe, usually within a minute or two.
One local number comes with Starter at $29/mo for up to 3 people; a second number comes with Pro at $79/mo for up to 15. Both are flat, month to month, with receiving texts always free and unlimited. Porting a number in is free.
US shops pay a one-time $29 to register the business with the phone companies, once, ever, so the first month is $58 and every month after is $29.
30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, including the registration fee. No fine print.
Where a business number does the most work
A dedicated number matters most for crews spread across jobs. Here's where it fits, and how the flat price compares to tools that charge for every extra number.
- Texting for contractorsKeep subs, GCs, and clients off one personal cell, on the company's number.
- Texting for landscapersCrews spread across sites, all reachable at the same local number.
- Loonext in CanadaHow Loonext works for Canadian crews.
- Loonext vs QuoTwo numbers included on Pro, next to a tool that charges $5/mo per extra number.
