Lew by text: your personal assistant over SMS

On the Personal and Pro plans, you can text Lew at +1 (844) 424-0539 from the phone number you add to your account. It’s the same conversation as the app: he answers your questions, drafts messages and keeps track of your day.

How you opt in

Texting is off until you turn it on yourself, from your AskLew account:

  1. Sign in at app.asklew.com and open Settings → Connections → SMS, then Add your number.
  2. Enter your mobile number and tick the consent box: “I agree to receive text messages from AskLew: replies to the texts I send, and a code to confirm my number. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”
  3. We text you a 6-digit code: “AskLew: your code is 123456. It expires in 10 minutes. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.” Enter it to confirm the number is yours.
  4. You receive: “You're connected to AskLew. Text me anything, any time: questions, drafts, your day. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.”
The SMS opt-in form in AskLew's Settings: a mobile number field, the consent checkbox with the text above, links to the Terms and Privacy Policy, and a Text me a code button.
The opt-in form in Settings → Connections (example number). The box is never ticked for you, and the code can't be sent until you tick it.

What you'll receive

  • Lew's replies to the texts you send him, the code that confirms your number, and notices about your use of texting, such as when your monthly allowance is nearly used.
  • No marketing. Lew doesn't text you first.
  • Message frequency varies with how much you text Lew. Message and data rates may apply.

Stopping and help

  • Reply STOP to stop receiving texts, and START to receive them again.
  • Reply HELP for help, or contact us.
  • You can also disconnect your number in Settings → Connections at any time.

Details are in our Terms and Privacy Policy. Your mobile number is never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
