Texting Terms

Last updated November 2, 2026

The program

Hey, Thinking of You sends subscribers one short, positive text message a day at the time they choose, in the vibe and language they choose. On your birthday, if you shared it, that day's text is a birthday message. We also send a one-time confirmation text when you sign up, and we reply when you text us a command like a new time or HELP.

Signing up and consent

• You sign up on our website with your email, then add your US mobile number and check the box agreeing to receive texts. Then you reply YES to our confirmation text. Texts only start after you reply YES.
• By signing up, you agree to receive recurring automated text messages from Hey, Thinking of You at the number you gave us.
• Consent isn't a condition of anything: the texts are free, and you never have to sign up to donate or use the website.
• Only sign up a phone number that's yours, or one you have permission to use.

How often

Message frequency: 1 message per day, plus a reply each time you text us a command. You can pause anytime by texting PAUSE.

Cost

The service is free. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan. Ask your carrier if you're not sure.

Stopping and help

• Text STOP to stop all texts. You'll get one confirmation text, and then nothing else. Text START to come back anytime. STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT and ALTO also work.
• Text HELP (or AYUDA) for help, or email hello@heythinkingofyou.com.
• Other things you can text: a time like 7AM, VIBE plus HUG, HYPE, TOUGH, CALM, JOKES or SURPRISE, BIRTHDAY 3/14, ESPAÑOL or ENGLISH, and PAUSE or RESUME.

Carriers

Texts work on major US carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery can depend on your phone, signal and carrier.

Not professional help

Our texts are friendly encouragement. They aren't medical, mental health or professional advice, and they aren't monitored for emergencies. If you're in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in the US) or call 911.

Posting messages and notes

• Keep it kind: no swearing, insults, hate, spam, links, ads or anyone's personal info. Every post is reviewed, partly by AI, before it appears, and we can reject or remove any post at any time.
• Only post things you wrote, or short quotes with credit.
• By posting, you let us show your post on the site and send it to subscribers as a daily text, with or without small edits. You can ask us to remove it anytime.
• If someone keeps posting things that break these rules, we may stop them from posting.

Send one to a friend

When you use "Send one to a friend," the message goes from your phone, not ours. Please only send it to people who'd be happy to get it. We never text your friends unless they sign up themselves.

Spots and the waitlist

Texts cost us real money, so we only open as many spots as donations can cover. When we're full, you can join the waitlist and we'll email you when a spot opens. Spots go first come, first served.

Donations

Donations are voluntary gifts to help keep the service running. They go straight to texting and hosting costs. Hey, Thinking of You is not a registered charity, so donations aren't tax-deductible, and they can't be refunded. Donating never affects whether you can sign up.

The fine print

• We provide the service "as is" and may change, pause or end it at any time. If we end it, we'll tell subscribers first.
• To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect damages from using or not being able to use the service.
• We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top, and tell subscribers about big changes first.
• Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we protect it.
