Built because not everything needs a subscription.

My wife needed an easy way to send SMS appointment reminders to her customers. We looked at the options available, but kept running into the same thing: another monthly subscription.

Some months are busy. Others are quiet. Sometimes you might not need to send a reminder for two or three months. So why keep paying every month for something you’re not using?

We wanted something simpler: pay for the texts you need, use them when you need them, and don’t pay a monthly subscription when you don’t.

So I built TurnUpText.

I’ve worked as an IT consultant for over 12 years, with my own UK limited company operating throughout that time. I’ve also built and run other software-as-a-service products, so creating a simple solution to this problem felt like a natural next step.

TurnUpText is designed for people like my wife: small businesses and independent professionals who want a straightforward way to reduce missed appointments without committing to yet another recurring monthly bill.

No monthly subscription. No unnecessary complexity. Just simple SMS appointment reminders, when you need them.
