Release the pressure text service

Text the word SHOUT to 85258 or call 0800 107 0160 for free confidential support at any time.

Alternatively, find other support available.

Our text support service is a 24/7 service. It is confidential, won't show up on your phone bill, and free to text our service from most mobile phone networks including:

  • EE
  • O2
  • Three
  • Vodafone
  • BT Mobile
  • Tesco Mobile
  • Virgin Mobile
  • iD Mobile
  • Sky
  • Telecom Plus
  • Lebara
  • GiffGaff.

Some Android phones issue a warning that you will be charged for texting us. Provided you are on one of the networks listed above, this warning is incorrect and you will not be charged.

If you text us from a network that is not on this list there is a possibility that you may be charged for the messages and that they may appear on your bill. This applies to a very small minority of operators.

It is not possible to text the service from some networks, which do not provide the capability to message short codes. These include Lyca Mobile. If your message will not send, or if you do not receive an automated message in response, it is an indicator that the service is not working. If in doubt, contact your mobile phone network before texting, or email info@giveusahout.org for support.
