Text your news
Already in a family on upto.family? Link your phone once, and you can text your news and photos straight into Sunday's present.
How linking works
It takes a minute, and you only do it once.
1. Text us your email address
Use the address you're in your family with. We reply straight away.
grandma.smith@example.com
upto.family: if that address is in a group, we've emailed it a link. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to stop.
2. Open the link we email you
We email that address, so only the person who reads it can link a phone. If the email isn't in a family, nothing is sent.
Someone texted this email address to 1-888-390-UPTO from the phone ending 4567.
If that was you, open this link to let that phone post to your family:
Link my phone
If it wasn't you, ignore this email and nothing changes. The link lasts 24 hours.
3. Press the button
