Templated Texts helps you send individual text messages to members of a group you define in the Contacts app. - Compose texts with tokens for first name, last name, and full name, to personalize the text you're sending to each member of the group. - Modify individual messages as before they're sent. - Optionally attach an image to your texts. I built this app as part of my union's contract campaign, to help reduce the toil of sending texts as part of a text message phone tree. I hope you find it useful!

About

TwoLine

Features
Read full description

TwoLine helps you rent a second phone number for SMS verification, account setup, and privacy. Choose a supported country, pick a rental duration, add credits, and receive SMS messages in the app. Use TwoLine when you need a separate number without exposing your personal phone number. Active rentals show the phone number, expiry time, recent SMS messages, and clear policy information before purchase. Recent messages stay in one simple inbox so you can track codes and rental activity from the same place. What you can do with TwoLine: - Rent a 2nd phone number - Receive SMS verification codes - Use a separate number for account setup - Choose supported countries and rental durations - Manage active rentals and recent SMS messages - Add TwoLine credits through in-app purchases - Review refund and credit rules before renting - Delete account data from Settings TwoLine uses app credits. Store purchases add credits to your wallet, and rentals spend credits from that wallet. Some eligible rentals may offer a short credit-back window if no SMS arrives and cancellation succeeds. Credit-back is app credit only, not a cash refund. Important: TwoLine does not guarantee that any third-party app, website, financial service, bank, crypto exchange, or regulated platform will accept a rented number. Number availability, SMS delivery speed, app acceptance, and country support can vary by option. Review the rental policy before each purchase. TwoLine is not an emergency calling service and does not support voice calls. Privacy and account control: TwoLine creates an anonymous app account so wallet balance, rentals, and inbox messages can be tied to your device session. You can delete app account data from Settings. Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and support links are available in the app and at twoline.io.
