Texting Dolly
Dolly Card4 min read
The short answer
Text Dolly at the number that texts you about your charges. You can ask how much you can still spend, send receipts, code and describe charges, ask why a card was declined, report fraud, and ask your admins to unpause your card, raise your limit or give you more to spend. Write the way you’d text a person.
Things you can ask
- “How much can I still spend?” Your available balance and limit, card by card.
- “What did I spend at Home Depot this week?” Charges by store, date or card, including refunds and declines.
- “Why was I declined?” The reason for your last decline.
- “What still needs a receipt?” Then go through each charge to code it, describe it and send the receipt.
- “Send me a new Apple Pay link.” A fresh wallet link.
- “That charge isn’t mine.” Reply Fraud to a charge text and Dolly pauses the card and tells your admins.


Asking your admins by text
| Ask | Example |
|---|---|
| Unpause your card | “Can you unpause my card?” |
| Raise your limit | “Raise my weekly limit to 1500 for this week.” |
| More to spend | “I need 400 more.” |
| Unblock a store | “Unblock the hardware store.” |
Dolly confirms the details and asks if it should send the request. Your admins get it right away, and Dolly texts you when they answer. Requests expire after 24 hours.
A card paused for fraud, or closed because the production wrapped, can’t be unpaused by text.

What Dolly can’t do by text
- Change your limit, unpause a card or add money itself. Your admins decide.
- Share card numbers, billing addresses or anyone’s contact details.
- Save a missing-receipt reason. Do that on the web.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to sign in to text Dolly?
- No. Dolly knows you by the phone number on your card.
- I changed phones. Will texts still work?
- Yes, if the number is the same. For a new number, ask your admin to update it on your card.
- Where can I see requests I sent?
- Text “what did I ask for?”, or open your card on the web and choose ⋮ then Requests.
