Getting started

What is ChuckleText?

A subscription that texts you a clean, personal joke on the days and times you choose, so you always have one ready to share.

Who receives the jokes?

You do. Every joke goes to your phone, and you share it however you like: out loud, on a call or by forwarding it. The people you laugh with don't need a phone or an account.

Do I need to download an app?

No. ChuckleText is plain text messages. If your phone can receive texts, you're all set.

Which phone numbers work?

Any US mobile number that can receive text messages. We don't support numbers outside the US yet.

How long does setup take?

About two minutes: who the jokes are for, a few favorite topics, and when you want them. Your first joke arrives as soon as you confirm your number.

The jokes

Are the jokes really clean?

Yes. Every joke is matched to the age you pick and checked before it is sent. No swearing, no politics and no jokes at anyone's expense.

How do you make the jokes personal?

You choose an age group, up to 10 favorite topics and anything to avoid. Each time you reply 1 or 2, we learn what lands and send more of it.

Will I ever get the same joke twice?

Not for at least three years, and we also catch reworded versions of the same joke.

What if a joke falls flat?

Reply 2. We'll send fewer jokes like it, and your jokes get better week by week.

Can I get jokes for grown-ups?

Yes. Pick the adult age group for jokes that are still clean, but made for partners, friends and coworkers.

Where do the jokes come from?

They are written for ChuckleText with the help of AI and then checked for quality, taste and age before they can be sent. We never copy jokes from other sites.

Texts and schedule

Can I choose the days and time?

Yes. Pick any days and a time between 8 AM and 9 PM in your time zone. You can use the same time every day or a different time for each day, for example 7 AM on school days and 5:30 PM on Sundays. Each profile gets at most one joke a day.

Can I pause while I'm away?

Yes. Turn on vacation mode with an end date, and the jokes start again when you're back.

Does it cost anything to receive texts?

Your carrier's standard message and data rates may apply. Most US plans include unlimited texting.

How do I stop the texts?

Reply STOP at any time. STOP ends the texts but doesn't cancel your plan, so we'll also email you a one-click link to cancel.

Plans and billing

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days free. We email you a reminder 3 days before the trial ends, and you're only charged if you keep your plan.

Why do you need my card for a free trial?

It keeps sign-ups real and protects the texting service from misuse. You won't be charged before the trial ends.

What's the difference between the plans?

Single has one joke profile. Family has up to three, for example one per grandchild. Both send one joke a day per profile, at the time you pick for each day, and all jokes go to your phone.

Can I switch plans?

Yes, at any time from your account. The price is adjusted for the rest of your billing period.

How do I cancel?

With one click on your account page. You keep your jokes until the end of the period you've paid for.

Do you offer refunds?

[Refund policy to be decided.]

How are payments handled?

Securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

Privacy

What do you do with my phone number?

We use it only to send your jokes and handle your replies. We never sell it or share it for marketing.

Do you need my grandkids' names?

No. Just a label like "the grandkids" and an age group.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. You can delete your account and all your data from your account page.
