User Reviews

TextBehind is praised for ease of use, affordability, and keeping families connected through letters, photos, and printed delivery. It’s often fast and reliable, with strong customer support. However, recurring issues include backend errors, slow processing/delivery, inconsistent support, notification problems, and pricing concerns. When functioning well, it’s a valuable tool for inmate correspondence; reliability and tech/support quality appear as the main areas needing improvement.
Pros
  • Easy to use and user-friendly
  • Helps stay in touch with incarcerated loved ones; supports letters, pictures, notecards, with printing and delivery when the jail doesn’t accept electronic mail
  • Fast delivery and generally reliable performance (often faster than traditional mail)
  • Affordable pricing and cost-effective options for sending letters and photos
  • Strong, responsive customer support in many reviews
Cons
  • Technical/back-end issues causing login/API failures and pages not loading
  • Processing and delivery delays; letters can take days or weeks to arrive
  • Inconsistent or slow customer service; some users report unhelpful or delayed support
  • Notifications not arriving or timing out, causing missed updates
  • Perceived high pricing or pricing inconsistencies compared to alternatives
