Send text free, but mind the clock on late notes
Hey! This message comes from a secret sender. Try it out!
Timing Tips
Before you hit send
- You can send text free for plenty of things, but a late heads-up is time-sensitive. The free queue takes about 10 minutes, so it may land after you do.
- If someone is waiting at a door or a table, pay $2 and the message goes instantly.
- Say how late, not just that you are late. A clear number gives them something to plan around.
- Add your first name inside the message if you want them to know it is you.
Late Notes
Three ways to say you are behind
Keep it calm, specific, and a little bit kind.
Plain and polite
Best for friends who are patient.
Running about ten minutes behind. Please start without me, I will be there soon. – Dana
With a small offer
A tiny gesture softens the wait.
Traffic is slow, so I am ten minutes late. Order me the soup and I will get the next round.
For a work meeting
Short, professional, no drama.
Ten minutes behind, sorry. Please begin the first item and I will join as soon as I am in.
Fair Questions
Things people wonder
Why did my free text take a while?+
Free sends wait in a queue of about 10 minutes. Paying $2 skips that wait and sends instantly.
Will they see my phone number?+
No. The text comes from a number we manage, under the sender name you picked.
Is there a cap on free texts?+
There is a free daily limit. Use it for notes that can wait, and keep the instant $2 option for the urgent ones.
Running behind? Say so kindly
