Go on Holiday. Leave the Phone Behind.
You deserve a break, not a "working holiday." Overtime.Talk keeps your business open, answering calls and booking jobs while you are by the pool or recovering in bed.

For most business owners, taking time off means shutting up shop and losing money. The fear of missing a big job keeps you tethered to your mobile, even when you are supposed to be relaxing.
Checking your phone every 10 minutes isn't a holiday. It's just working from a different location with better weather.
When the flu hits, you don't have the energy to talk to customers. But silence loses clients.
Diverting to voicemail tells customers you are unavailable. In 2026, they won't wait for you to return—they will just call your competitor.
We built the perfect backup system for when you can't be there. Whether it's a planned 2-week trip or a sudden sick day, you are always ready.
You control the message. Create a specific script for your holiday (e.g., 'I am away until the 14th') or a general 'currently unavailable' message.
There is no complex scheduling tool to manage. When you are ready to leave, simply divert your mobile or landline to us using your phone settings.
We politely handle every caller. We can book them in for when you return, or take their details so you have a prioritized callback list waiting for you.
You spend thousands on flights, hotels, and time off. Why risk ruining the entire experience just to save the price of a cup of coffee?
For just £3.30 a day (based on our monthly plan), you get total silence. That is less than the cost of a poolside drink to ensure you never hear a phantom ringtone.
If you spend £2,000 on a family holiday but spend the whole time stressed about missed calls, you haven't saved money—you've wasted £2,000.
It only takes one missed enquiry to cover your subscription. If we answer one lead that turns into a £150 job while you are sleeping, the service has effectively paid for itself.
Plumbers, Electricians, and Consultants who are the sole face of the business. We keep the diary full so you have paid work waiting for you when you return.
When your main receptionist goes on annual leave, don't force the rest of the team to answer the phones. Simply divert the main line to us.
Life happens. If you need to drop everything to handle a personal crisis, you can divert your phone instantly and know the business is safe.
Instant Activation. Sickness doesn't give notice. Because your account is already set up, you can divert calls from your bed in seconds without needing to log in.
Custom Holiday Scripts. Control the narrative. Tell customers exactly when you will be back, or keep it vague. You can update your script text in the dashboard anytime.
Lead Stacking. We don't just take messages; we qualify leads. You return to a prioritized list of jobs, not a chaotic voicemail inbox.
English & Scottish Voices. Maintain a local presence. Your customers will speak to a professional British voice, not a generic automated bot.
Emergency Escalation. Even on holiday, some things can't wait. You can set rules so that only "True Emergencies" (like a flooded house) are patched through to you.
Flexible Monthly Plan. Keep the service running year-round as an insurance policy for weekends, evenings, and unexpected time off.
It's simple. You just use the standard "Call Divert" function on your mobile or landline provider. Divert calls to your Overtime.Talk number, and we handle the rest.
That is up to you. Most clients prefer a polite message stating they are fully booked or away until a specific date, asking the caller to leave details for a priority callback.
Yes. You have full access to the dashboard and call logs 24/7. You can check in every morning, or turn off notifications completely to fully disconnect.
No. Most clients keep the subscription active year-round to cover weekends, evenings, and those mornings where you just need a lie-in.
Enjoy your time off. We'll handle the phones.
