1ForYes text messages

1ForYes sends text messages on behalf of people organizing plans with friends. This page explains who sends them, why you got one, what to expect, and how to stop them.

What the program is

An organizer uses the 1ForYes iPhone app to invite people they know to a specific plan, like a walk, a coffee or a game night, with a limited number of spots. We text the invite to each person they chose. Recipients reply 1 for yes or 2 for no. The first yeses get the spots, and everyone else is told when it fills. Recipients don’t need the app.

How people opt in

• Organizers create an account in the app and agree to our Terms, which allow inviting only people they know personally and who would expect to hear from them. The app repeats this next to the phone number field when they add someone.
• Recipients are added by an organizer who knows them. The first text each recipient gets from an organizer names that organizer and ends with “Reply STOP to opt out.” Every invite starts with the organizer’s name.
• A recipient who replies STOP is opted out of every 1ForYes organizer, not just one, until they reply START. Organizers can’t select an opted-out number.

What you’ll receive

• Message frequency varies. You get a text only when an organizer you know invites you to something: one invite, plus at most two follow-ups about that same plan.
• No marketing. We never send advertising or promotions.
• Msg & data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to stop all 1ForYes texts. Reply HELP for help, or email support@1foryes.com.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your number stays private

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party, except the providers that deliver the messages. See our Privacy Policy.

Every message we send

These are generated from the same code that sends the real texts.

• The invite (the first one from an organizer)

  Ann (via 1ForYes): Dog walk at 6:15 in Eastmoreland, meeting at the park entrance.
  Are you in? 2 spots left. Reply 1 for yes, 2 for no.
  Reply STOP to opt out.

• A later invite from the same organizer

  Ann (via 1ForYes): Coffee at Common Grounds tomorrow at 9?
  Are you in? 3 spots left. Reply 1 for yes, 2 for no.

• After replying 1, if a spot is left

  Great, you're in! Ann will follow up with details.

  Ann's invite is all full now. We'll see you next time!

• If the organizer cancels
