  They likely have a prompt they copy and paste into a text messaging portal. Although it could very well be an automated service that sends those texts, but it is a manual service receiving and verifying the replies.

    It’s entrapment. This is how they get you to say peepee poopoo. My Fox News watching uncle put me onto this great documentary about it, “The Brown Trap”. Join the peepee poopoo truth movement. WWG1WGA!

        Well, it’s hard to argue with someone with good opinions on cheese.

    I want to believe this but usually those use SMS (green texts) not imessage (blue texts)

      I believe it’s still possible through a program; you can send iMessage through your laptop or copy and paste from a notes app on your phone or computer into iMessage and fill in the appointment specifics into the template.

  Gonna chime in here, this is how I text. Even with my friends. There might be a reason why I only have two friends, though

  I used to send out my reminders by hand and made it very clear, pretty much what you wrote

  I don’t know why you would emulate a script

    1. They use a service to send the text notification rather than directly texting a number, this inserts the original header

    2. They are aware phone screens are not wide and text wrapping can be weird. They thus awkwardly split a normal message across a few lines manually as well as writing too much on one line.

    3. Nobody tried to emulate a script. She copy and pasted some shit off the appointment info.

      Number 3 is literally using a script.

  Or at least have a template that looks more natural (i.e. less like a form).

  It could be that the first message was automated, but the second message was not.

  It seems nowadays, when I get appointment reminder texts from various places, the initial text is automated. But then you can reply whatever you want and a human looks at the message and can respond to you.
