Missed call service for property management and housing societies
Residents report a leak, check their maintenance dues or vote on a society decision with one free call, and the facility team sees it in one list.

How can a housing society use a missed call number?
A housing society or facility manager can give residents separate missed call numbers for plumbing, electrical and lift complaints, each creating a ticket against the flat linked to the caller's registered mobile. Another number can reply with the flat's outstanding maintenance dues, and temporary numbers can count residents' votes on decisions such as a painting contractor or festival budget.

Questions about missed call service for property management and housing societies
How do residents log a complaint by missed call?
Each complaint type gets its own number, displayed in lifts and on the notice board. When a resident calls from their registered mobile, the system identifies the flat, creates a ticket for that category and sends an SMS with the ticket number and expected visit time.
Can a society run a vote with missed calls?
Yes, for internal consultations such as choosing a contractor, colour scheme or event budget. Each option gets a number, only registered mobiles are counted, and you can limit it to one vote per flat. Formal resolutions under your bye-laws still need the prescribed meeting or ballot.
What if a tenant, not the owner, calls?
Register both owner and tenant mobiles against the flat with different roles. Tenants can then log complaints, while dues replies can go only to the person responsible for paying, depending on how your society bills.
Can residents check maintenance dues by missed call?
Yes, if your accounting or society software can receive the webhook and return the balance. The resident calls from the registered mobile and gets an SMS with the outstanding amount, last payment and the society's UPI or bank details.
Do we need a different number for each complaint type?
It helps, because the number called tells you the category without any keypress. Societies with fewer issues can use one number with a callback instead, and the facility supervisor sorts the complaint when calling back.
Is a missed call better than a society app for complaints?
It is complementary. Apps suit residents who use them; a missed call suits older residents, domestic staff reporting on their employer's behalf and anyone without data. Both can feed the same helpdesk through the API.
