## What is Cat Facts Texts?

Cat Facts Texts is the real, working version of the famous prank. Sign anyone up and we text them a genuine, hand picked cat fact every single day. It started as the internet's favorite harmless gag, made famous on Reddit, and turned into a surprisingly sweet way to think of someone.

HOW IT WORKS
Add a friend's phone number, choose how many cat facts a day, and you are done. The first fact lands within minutes. There is no app for them to install and no account for you to create.

FEATURES

- Unlisted number. The texts arrive from an unlisted number, so the surprise stays a surprise.
- Fast delivery. The first cat fact goes out within minutes.
- You set the pace. Pick anywhere from one cat fact a day up to fifteen.
- Delivery history. See every fact that went out, and whether it landed, right in the app.

- No login. The app is fully anonymous, with nothing to sign up for.

### 1/5 — Do not use this app!

*2026-07-09, version 3.0*

They will enroll you in a monthly charge and quietly steal 1.99 a month until you notice. When you notice you won’t be able to cancel the subscription because it doesn’t come up on your App Store subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-02, version 3.0*

This app doesn’t send anything it just charges you to do nothing at all.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2025-01-11, version 2.5*

Took my money and did not give any credits

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-11-10, version 2.5*

Made a purchase for credits, charge was successful, did not receive credits.  Contacted owners for refund.  Never replied.  Junk.

### 1/5 — So far it doesn’t work

*2024-08-19, version 2.5*

The website is not trusted. My phone will not go to it and the app will not process my payment so I can actually use it.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-08-17, version 2.5*

Didn’t give my 50 credits that I was charged for

### 1/5 — Took money never delivered service

*2024-07-29, version 2.5*

I paid for several messages and they never appeared to use. They send you the same automatic email that never helps. Apple also did not help refund money. Scam service

### 1/5 — Fraudulent company

*2024-07-04, version 2.5*

I paid for credits and got none. No response from customer service. I’d give it zero stars if it were an option AVOID!

### 1/5 — Scam alert

*2024-06-02, version 2.5*

Do NOT subscribe. You don't get the service, you can't cancel, they don't respond and they keep charging you each month. The only way out of it is to cancel your credit card

### 1/5 — Charges but doesn’t add credits

*2024-05-29, version 2.5*

I payed 40$ for credits and the transactions went through, however, an error occurred in app and credits were not received.

## Frequently asked questions about Cat Facts Texts

### How does Cat Facts Texts work?

The app sends random, funny, and interesting cat facts to your contacts via SMS text message. You sign up, add a contact, buy credits (1 credit = 1 text message), and then initiate sending. The messages are sent anonymously from an unlisted number.

### Is the service truly anonymous?

Yes, the app is designed to be 100% anonymous. Your phone number is never used or shown to the recipient. The text messages come from an unlisted phone number, ensuring privacy for the sender.

### Does the recipient need the app installed?

### What are the costs associated with using the app?

The app is free to download and use, but you need to purchase credits to send text messages. Each credit corresponds to one text message. This fee covers the costs of sending messages through a third-party system.
