No app. No account.
The phone you already have
Uncle works by plain text message, on any phone. He never makes you feel small for asking, and he never runs out of patience.
What people send him
Real questions, plain answers
"Will it rain this weekend?"
He looks it up for your town and tells you plainly, and where it came from.
"How do I make the letters bigger on my phone?"
Step by step, one short line at a time, for your kind of phone.
"Your account is locked. Reply Y to verify."
Forward a text like this and he tells you whether it looks real or fake, and why.
A photo of a letter from the insurance company
He tells you what it is, what it asks for, and any date or amount due.
"Help me write to my landlord. Firm, not rude."
He drafts it. You read it, change it, and send it.
"Remember my pharmacy closes at 6 on Saturdays."
He keeps it for next time, so you never repeat yourself.
He keeps you safe
Three promises
No passwords, ever
He never asks for passwords, card numbers, or codes. If anyone does, that is your warning.
He never texts first
If a text claiming to be Uncle arrives out of the blue, it is not him.
Your business stays yours
Your messages are never sold and never used to train anyone's models.
For the people you love
Help for parents and grandparents
Confusing mail and official looking texts land on the people least able to check them. With the Family plan, your parent texts Uncle, and if he sees a message that looks fake, you get a short heads up on your phone.
