Did you know we have an app for homeowners? With our new in-app calling feature, it’s time to give it a try.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners and tradespeople can now speak on the phone without leaving the Rated People app. So, no more answering unknown calls, and you can now post your job, chat, and rate your tradesperson, all in one place.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both homeowners and tradespeople can make and receive calls using wifi or mobile data, and you\u2019ll always know when a Rated People tradesperson is calling.

We\u2019re in the launch phase of in-app calling so not all of our tradespeople are using the feature. But don\u2019t worry, if you make a call to a tradesperson who doesn\u2019t have it yet, you\u2019ll get the option to connect via a mobile call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, if you don\u2019t have our homeowner app, download it now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a tradesperson calls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most likely, the first time you use in-app calling will be to answer an incoming call from a tradesperson who wants to quote.

As long as you have the app on your phone and you\u2019re logged in, all you have to do is answer the call. If you\u2019re not logged in, or you\u2019re not sure if you are, just open the app, tap \u2018More<\/strong>\u2019 in the bottom right hand corner, and if you see the option to Log in \/ register<\/strong>, that\u2019s what you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve posted a job with Rated People, whether you did it on the website or the app, head to \u2018My jobs\u2019 and you\u2019ll see whether any tradespeople are interested in quoting. If there are, you can expect a call soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they call, you\u2019ll see that it\u2019s a Rated People tradesperson calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mobile<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you call a tradesperson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you open \u2018My jobs\u2019 and see that a tradesperson wants to quote, and you\u2019d like to speed up the process, just hit \u2018Call\u2019. A data call will be started but remember, if you make a call to a tradesperson who doesn\u2019t have in-app calling yet you\u2019ll get the option to connect via a mobile call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
