Quickly send text or SMS without needing to add/save contact. Bypass the time-consuming task of "Add Contact" β€” and send straight-forward a SMS, Facetime, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Viber or even make a call directly to any phone number. You just need to type the phone number, tap on the app which will open to send and you’re done! Keep a history of all the numbers you've contacted. You can even add a note to remember the reason or name for later. What makes this app stand out? You can type and edit phone numbers as plain text β€” using iOS features like the zoom tool, and paste or select text precisely where you need to. Don’t do double the work like in similar apps β€” this one made all the others obsolete. But wait!
