How to send a NumberLink message

You can send NumberLink messages from any client device as long as it meets these requirements:

• You'll need to have the NumberLink app installed to compose and send messages.
• The device will need mobile data or wifi access.

Client devices (Using the NumberLink app) 

1. Open the NumberLink app.
2. Open an existing conversation or press New conversation and enter the number of the contact you wish to message.
3. Type your message in the text field.
4. Tap Send button.

2. Scroll down to the corresponding search result and press the Message button on your phone's keypad.
3. Choose "Yes" when you see the prompt to send as a NumberLink Message.
4. The phone will open a conversation with this contact. If there is an existing conversation, you'll see a Butterfly indicator at the top of the conversation that verifies it will use NumberLink to send the message.
5. Type your message and press the green button on the keypad to send it.
6. Your text message will be routed through NumberLink and sent by your host phone.
7. If your message was successfully sent, you see it switch to showing "Now".

Android Smartphone (Using the NumberLink Messaging and NumberLink Host app)

4. Enter the number or name of the contact in the "To" input field at the top.

6. If your message was successfully sent, you will see it switch to showing "Now".

Important Notes:

• NumberLink should not be used to contact emergency services. Always contact emergency services directly.
• The device must have an active data connection to send and receive messages.
• The sent status will be synced to the NumberLink app after the host device sends the message - you will see a longer delay than if the message was sent directly.
• Messages are sent using your shared NumberLink number, not the client device's own number.
• Replies will appear in the NumberLink app on all devices connected to your NumberLink account.
