How do I purchase extra AllergyTexts, or translate into more languages?

Simply make a new purchase, just as you did for your first translation.


What happens if I do not receive the text message and/or e-mail?

Please wait up to 2 hours to receive the messages from AllergyText. If after this period, the messages have not been delivered, please ensure.

  • Your e-mail account has not exhausted its quota, and that our messages are not being deleted as "spam" (or junk).
  • That your mobile phone has space to accept the message.
  • Your mobile phone has signal, and is connected to the correct network.

If you have checked all of the above, please contact HolidayCare customer support at info@allergytext.co.uk (or via the website), where our staff will help you resolve the situation.


What happens if I delete the text message and the e-mail?

In the event that you delete both the text message and the e-mail from your systems, you will have to purchase an additional translation. Whilst we regret this, it is a necessary fraud prevention step on our part.


Who actually provides the various AllergyText services?
  • AllergyText is owned and run by Holiday Sure Ltd
  • Translations of the allergy are provided by TODO under an exclusive licence

What happens if I have a change of details after registering on line?

This will not matter as if you wish to buy more later on, you will simply need to follow the whole process again. AllergyText retains the minimum of information about you.
