Appointment reminder text templates
Ready-to-send UK reminder texts you can copy in one tap. Swap in your details and go — or drop them straight into TurnUpText, where {{business_name}} and the date and time fill themselves in on every send. Every template fits a single text.
What a good reminder text needs
- Say who it’s from — put your business name in every text so it’s never a mystery number.
- Lead with the date and time — that’s the one thing they need to see.
- Tell them how to change it — a number to call or reply to cuts no-shows further.
- Keep it to one text — under 160 characters means one message, and on TurnUpText, one credit.

Reminders, not marketing
An appointment reminder for a booking someone made with you is a service message, not marketing — you don’t need separate marketing consent to send it. Keep it to the appointment (who, when, how to change it) and don’t bolt on offers or promotions. TurnUpText is for reminders only: we don’t allow marketing or bulk sends.
Send these without lifting a finger.
Add an appointment and TurnUpText sends the confirmation and reminders for you — no subscription, pay only for the texts you send.
