Textie™ Messaging is a mobile application for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android that allows people to send free short messages and photos.
Someone who has your address or phone number has used it to send you a private message through Textie, just as they might do with their email application or mobile phone.
Yes. If you have received a text message or email, you can simply reply with the word "block". The person will no longer be able to use Textie Messaging to reach you at that address or phone number.
Yes. Your reply will be routed back to the sender.

To make a long story short, this is an anti-spam measure. Coded addresses are unique and cancellable if spam is reported. These addresses are not intended to be shared. Each address you send to from Textie gets its own code for replies that will not change until cancelled.
You may need to register the email address or phone number in the account settings of your Textie app.
Not at present. Textie is only available for iOS and Android.
We are looking into ways to offer this for free. For now please use people's email addresses instead.
Textie sends text messages through email gateways so that sending unlimited text messages can be free to our users. The formatting of messages depends on the recipients' mobile provider. Verizon and T-Mobile recipients, for instance, will always show a routing email address at the top of the message.
