Automated TextFree Number Inactivity Warnings
Every Monday, WebRun opens TextFree, finds the date of your last outgoing message or call, counts the days of inactivity against the window you set, texts you through Twilio while there is still time to send something, and logs the running count to Telegram.
How do I stop my TextFree number being released for inactivity?
WebRun checks your TextFree account every Monday, finds the date of your last outgoing message or call, and counts the days of inactivity since. When the count enters the warning window you set, it texts you through Twilio while there is still time to send something, and logs the count to Telegram.
- The number on your business cards does not quietly disappear
- A warning while there are still days left to act
- The countdown logged every week so nothing is guesswork
Built for freelancers · small business owners · side hustlers · anyone with a second number

Questions, answered
Will it send a message from my TextFree number to keep it alive?
No. WebRun only reads your conversation and call history and warns you. Sending anything from your number stays your decision, so no message ever goes to a contact on its own.
How does it decide the warning window?
You set the number of days. WebRun counts from your last outgoing message or call, whichever is later, and starts texting once the count enters the window you chose.
What if I send something during the week?
The next Monday run reads the live history, sees the newer outgoing date, and resets the count. The warning stops on its own without you clearing anything.
