Why Free Messaging Tools Matter

SMS is fast, personal, and high-priority—but it is also unforgiving. A typo can confuse readers, a long text can break into multiple segments, and bland copy can miss the call to action. The six free tools below remove friction at each step of your workflow so you can send sharp, on-brand messages that get results. They are easy to try, live in the browser, and pair perfectly with DialMyCalls’ mass texting, voice, and email features when you are ready to scale up.

  • Enhanced: “Reminder: Please join us for the 5 PM meeting today.”

  • Original: “Please remember to bring your documents for tomorrow’s appointment.”
  • Shorter: “Bring documents for tomorrow’s appointment.”

Best For

  • Front-Desk and Clinics: Appointment reminders

AI Help Me Write — Draft SMS In Seconds

AI Help Me Write

What It Does

Generates first-draft SMS copy from a simple prompt. You can ask for a friendly rent reminder, a church event invite, a school closure alert, or a flash-sale promo.

Why It Helps

Staring at a blank box wastes time. Draft quickly, then edit for accuracy and tone.

Example Prompt

“Draft a friendly rent reminder for the 1st of the month with a link to pay online.”

Best For

  • Property Managers: Payment reminders, policy reminders
  • PTAs And HOAs: Meeting invites, vote reminders
  • Retail And Restaurants: Offer announcements, RSVP prompts

Try It: Help Me Write Tool

SMS Segments Counter — Message Length Checker

SMS Segments Counter

What It Does

Shows exactly how many characters and segments your text will use (and whether special characters will increase length).

Why It Helps

Most carriers bill by segments, not by message. Knowing whether a text is one segment or two helps you control costs and avoid awkward cutoffs.

Example

“This text has 161 characters, so it counts as 2 SMS segments.”

Best For

  • Budget-Conscious Senders: Keep recurring alerts to one segment
  • Marketing Teams: Optimize character count for campaigns
  • Any Group Sending Frequent Notices: Consistent formatting across messages

Custom QR Code Generator — Share It with A Scan

Free QR Code Generator - DialMyCalls

What It Does

Creates branded QR codes that point to a URL: pay-online pages, event promotions and RSVPs, menu links, sign-up forms, or documents.

Why It Helps

Some information is easier to show on a web page than in text. Put the essentials into your SMS, then let a QR code carry the rest on flyers, posters, and handouts.

Example

Generate a QR code that links to “Pay Rent Online” and print it on monthly notices or place it in the leasing office.

Best For

Churches and Nonprofits

Donations, volunteer forms

Schools

Athletic schedules, permission slips, calendar

Local Businesses

Menus, offers, review links

Event Organizers

Tickets, maps, parking info
