Sending a free SMS online is convenient, but a few precautions help protect your privacy and that of your recipients.

Don't share sensitive information

An SMS is not an end-to-end encrypted channel — see how it compares with WhatsApp on that point. Avoid writing passwords, banking codes or sensitive personal data in it.

Check the recipient

A wrong number can send your message to a stranger, and the reply would land on our public inbox. Take the time to verify the number before confirming the send.

Responsible use

The service is intended for personal, lawful use. Sending harassment, identity spoofing or illegal content is strictly forbidden and may result in a block. If you receive a fraudulent message yourself, learn to recognise the common scams and report it.

What we do with your data

The information you enter (email, number, message) is used only to route the SMS. It is not sold to third parties.

By following these few rules, you can enjoy a free service while respecting your privacy and that of others.
