FAQs

  • What is Treasuremytext

Use Treasuremytext to keep your messages safe, manage your messages, share them with your friends, and create a Text Stream straight from your mobile.

  • How does it work?

    From your mobile phone, just forward the messages you want to keep to one of our numbers (just by sending a normal SMS). When you login, all the messages you have sent are saved for you in your account. Check the home page for a list of our service numbers

  • Is it compatible with my mobile phone?

    Treasuremytext is compatible with any phone that can send an SMS. (We think that’s probably nearly all mobile phones). If you have a smartphone check our apps page for specific apps for your phone

  • Can I use Treasuremytext anywhere?

    Yes you can, we use standard international mobile phone numbers which are accessible from nearly all mobile phones in the world with SMS capabilities. You will be able to check the network compatibility when you sign up.

  • What's a + sign and how do I add it?

    When you call or text someone in your own country you just send the message to or call their national mobile number, e.g. 0655555555. However when you send messages internationally you need to add a country dialing code. From a mobile phone this is done by adding a '+' sign at the beginning of the number. The + sign is usually in a pretty easy to find location on your keypad. However if you can;t find it, try adding 'symbols' and find it in there.

  • How do I organise my messages?

    Make new folders. Add in your contacts. Just drag and drop!

  • Are my messages private?

    Only you have access to your account so your messages and your account are for your eyes only. However message notifications are briefly displayed in short on the "Message Spy" on the homepage and messages are published in your Text Stream if you turned it on. This is off by default.

  • What’s a Text Stream?

    Your Text Stream is a public page in your account containing incoming messages that you've saved. It's public so you can share it with other people, and your fiends can even subscribe to receive alerts when you save a message. Use it to tell your friends what you’re up to. You can also customise how it looks by setting your own favorite background or colour. Also, you can view and publish the RSS feed of any of your folders. You will also be able to publish your messages in your MySpace page and Facebook profile (coming soon). If you don't want your messages published in your Text Stream, you can of course disable it in your profile.

  • How much does it cost?

    Nothing. The only charges are those applied by your operator, see the next question.

  • How much does it cost to save messages?

    We do not charge for saving messages at Treasuremytext. Saving messages (forwarding them to our number) is charged at your standard operator’s rate for sending an SMS. (So it could be free if you have a SMS ‘bundle’ from your operator). Check with your operator for your message costs. (T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile Customers for example in the UK are charged at 17p). International customers outside the UK should check with their operator for details of charges for sending SMS to this UK mobile number.

  • Who can I send SMS to?

    You can send an SMS to almost any standard mobile number worldwide. You cannot send an SMS to premium rate SMS numbers (they will not be accepted by the operator). Use your SMS credits to send SMS to friends and family at home or abroad in over 365 Countries worldwide.

  • How can people reply to messages I send them?

    They just reply and it ends up on your phone! Messages sent from your account appear to the recipient to come from your mobile number.

Troubleshooting

  • I forgot my password

    Go here to reset it..

  • I sent my message but it hasn’t appeared yet?

    Check you have sent it to the right number. Check you have the added the right country code and used a ‘+’ at the beginning of the number (if required). Check in your account profile that the number you signed up with and the phone you are sending the message from are the same. Still no joy? Get in touch.

  • Do you support messages greater than 160 characters?

    Yes we support both saving and sending long SMS greater than 160 characters. You can send messages up to 250 characters long. If your message is longer than a standard SMS then your message will automatically become a single long SMS message. Your available credits will be reduced by the number of SMS messages required to send your message.

  • Why can’t I move certain messages?

    Our drag and drop interface means it’s really easy for you to organise your messages. If you want to delete something, just move it to the trash folder. Not all messages are movable. For example: if you sent a message, you can’t move it to another folder from your Sent Folder.
