How long will my text be available for?
Your text is available immediately after you upload it. You should enter the m-code from your phone within 24 hours. By entering the m-code, your text will become permanent and you can continue to read it at anytime. If the m-code is not used within the first 24 hours, the text will be removed.

What is an m-code?
The m-code is a number used to retrieve the text from your phone. When you upload your own text or find something you want to read, the m-code is shown. Enter the number into mTextbox on your phone to retrieve this text.

Can I upload text in other languages?
Yes you can. But in order to read the text, your phone must support the language accordingly. For example, if you upload Chinese text, your phone must support Chinese characters. Otherwise, the characters cannot be displayed properly.

How should the text be formatted?
For best readability:
use plain text, avoid special characters and symbols
don't put line breaks in long lines - use "Remove spacing" to remove line breaks and extra spaces
if you use other characters or languages, make sure your phone supports it otherwise the characters cannot be displayed
put a title in the first line
