Reconnect gracefully
Make the hello easy to answer
- Start with who you are. Years pass, and a name at the end saves them guessing.
- Offer one warm detail, like the road trip or the shared lab bench, instead of a full life update.
- Ask nothing that needs an immediate answer. Let them respond in their own time.
- Include another way to reach you, such as your email address, if you’d like to hear back.
Common questions
Reaching out after years
What is a polite way to start after years of silence?+
Say your name, mention a shared memory, and say you were thinking of them. Skip long apologies and big explanations.
Can my old friend text me back?+
This service only sends. Replies are not forwarded, which is why adding your email to the note helps.
Is it really free?+
Free sends wait in a queue of about 10 minutes, and there is a daily limit on free sends. Pay $2 if you want a text out instantly.
