Send a gift card by SMS with a personal greeting, picture and sound. No postage, no address, no deadline for last post – just a mobile number.

How to send a gift card by SMS

From blank screen to delivered gift takes a couple of minutes. Most of the time is spent on the greeting, and that’s how it should be.

01

Write the greeting

Choose a handmade card and write your own text. Feel free to attach a picture, a GIF or a sound clip – it doesn’t take any longer to send.

02

Enter the phone number

You don’t need their address, or even their surname. A mobile number is all it takes.

03

Send – or schedule

The gift card arrives within seconds. If it should be delivered on the day itself, schedule the time and forget about it.

That’s why online gift cards work so well

A gift card by SMS solves the three things that usually go wrong with gifts: timing, address and choice.

Arrives immediately

An online gift card by SMS takes seconds, not days. There’s no deadline for postal delivery and no risk of the package being left at a collection point.

You only need the number

Most people have the mobile number of those they care about. Fewer have the postal address – and even fewer have it updated.

Scheduled delivery

Write the greeting well in advance and decide when the SMS should be sent. Birthday at nine in the morning, without you having to remember it that day.

The recipient chooses the store

The amount becomes the gift card the recipient wants, from a wide selection of well-known stores online and in physical shops.

Når du er sent ute

The most common reason people search for gift cards via SMS is that it’s urgent. The birthday is today, the party is in two hours, or you only remembered when the invitation popped up in your calendar.

An online gift card solves the time problem, but it’s easy to let that be an excuse to skip the greeting. Don’t do that – it’s the greeting that sets the gift apart from a bank transfer. Even two sentences about the person make all the difference.

SMS eller e-post?

Both options work, and you choose when to send. SMS arrives immediately and is seen almost straight away – it’s the safest choice if the gift is to be opened the same day.

Email is better when sending to a work address, when you don’t have the mobile number, or when sending to many at once – for example to the whole Christmas card list.

Whichever channel you choose, the gift comes wrapped, and the recipient chooses which gift card the amount should be used on.

Ofte stilte spørsmål om gavekort på SMS

How do you send a gift card by SMS?

You create the gift card online, write a greeting, choose an amount and enter the recipient’s mobile number. The recipient receives an SMS with a link to the gift, opens it, and chooses which gift card to spend the amount on.

How long does it take for the gift card to arrive?

Seconds. If you choose to send immediately, the SMS is with the recipient almost instantly. You can also schedule delivery for a specific date and time.

Can I send the gift card by email instead?

Yes. You choose whether the gift should be delivered by SMS or email when you send it. Both arrive just as quickly, and the content is the same.

What if I enter the wrong phone number?

Contact us and we’ll help you update the recipient’s contact information. The gift cannot be used by anyone else before it is activated by the correct recipient.

Is it safer than sending money via Vipps?

It's a different kind of gift. A transfer is a transfer; a gift card sent by SMS comes wrapped, with a greeting, picture and optionally sound – and the recipient unwraps it. The amount is the same, but it doesn't feel the same.

Birthday today? That’s stillfine.
