Message

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

1

Pick a number

Choose a real US number in an area code you want. It is yours while you use it.

2

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.

3

Text like normal

Messages arrive in the app. Reply, send pictures, block anyone you like. Your real number never enters it.
