Your real number stays private
Give out your ZippyText number instead. Your personal line never appears, and the people you text have no way to reach it.
Normal texting, nothing weird
One-to-one conversations with real people, over the same SMS and MMS everyone already uses. They do not need the app.
Block and report, instantly
If someone is a problem, they are gone. No explanation needed, and nothing of yours goes with them.
How it works
Three steps between a stranger asking for your number and a clean, private conversation.
Pick a number
Choose a real US number in an area code you want. It is yours while you use it.
Give it out
Put it on a listing, a form, a dating profile, a contractor's quote, anywhere you would rather not put your own.
Text like normal
Messages arrive in the app. Reply, send pictures, block anyone you like. Your real number never enters it.

Your ZippyText Number
Put this one on online listings, dating apps, delivery forms, or contractor quotes. If someone ever gets annoying, block them in one tap.
