Text messages

An example conversation. The names are made up.

Three steps and you're in touch

Sign up
Tell us about you and your loved one. We send you one text to confirm.
Send a text
Text your Lazos Familia number. We send it into the messaging system their facility uses.
Get their reply
When your loved one writes back, their message comes to you as a regular text.

Your words go exactly as you write them.

We never translate or change your messages. Write in Spanish, in English, or the way you talk at home.

Every family has its own way of talking. So we send your words just as you wrote them, with your accents, your nicknames and your love.

You hold your own account on the facility's messaging system. We help you set it up.
You give us written permission to send through that account.
Prefer paper? We can send letters by mail too. Just ask.

Add extras to any plan. 4x6 photos from $0.25 and cards for $3.99. See all extras.

Photo prints
Text us your photos and we mail them, printed, to your loved one.
Cards
A card for their birthday, Mother's Day or any day at all.
Articles
Want them to read a news story or an article? We look it up and send it.

Each facility decides which messages it accepts. If a facility pauses outside messages, we pause your service and don't charge you for the pause.

We delete the words and photos in your messages after 90 days. We don't sell your data. This site uses no cookies.
