Introducing Blue Relay: Your Own Blue-Bubble Line

iMessage is where a lot of real conversations happen: friends, family, group chats, the client who will not open anything else. Green SMS is fine for codes. For talking to people, blue bubbles just feel better.

Blue Relay is Crypton's way of giving you a dedicated iMessage number without buying another iPhone or linking it to your personal Apple ID. We host the phone in Europe. You get the line in your Crypton account, and you can use it from the dashboard or through the API if you want to automate things (including your own AI agents).

Crypton is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Blue Relay is not Apple Messages for Business.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants a blue-bubble number that isn't glued to their daily phone:

• a private second line
• a creator or side-project number people can actually iMessage
• a small support or shop line that doesn't look like a bulk SMS blast
• a bot or agent you wire up yourself over the API

You don't need a big ops team. If you've ever wanted "just another iMessage number" without the Apple hardware headache, you're in the right place.

What you actually get

Pick a plan and country, pay, and we set up a hosted iPhone with your number. When stock is available it's often ready in a few days; if not, you wait in a short queue and can see the ETA.

From there you message in Crypton Conversations like a normal inbox. Photos, files, group chats. On Full and Fleet you can start chats and go outbound. The number can receive regular SMS too, but what you send through Crypton goes out as iMessage. Flat monthly fee, no per-message meter.

We handle the device and Apple ID. Your personal Apple account stays out of it.

Plans

Longer prepay = discount. The €29 setup fee is waived on 6- and 12-month terms. Credits or card. Cancel renewals whenever; you keep the line for what you've already paid.

Using it with AI or your own tools

There's no magic "ChatGPT phone" toggle. What you get is a real iMessage channel with an API, so you can point your own stuff at it:

• a personal assistant that answers while you're away
• a small bot for FAQs or project updates
• scripts, a CRM, whatever you already run

You bring the automation. We bring the hosted number and the blue bubbles.

Hosted in Europe

A lot of similar services sit in the US. Blue Relay runs in the EU and UK, on a dedicated line rather than a shared sender pool. Country availability depends on stock. Checkout tells you what's open.

Not the same as our SMS products

Regular Crypton numbers, verification rentals, and Crypton Mobile eSIM are separate. Use those for SMS and mobile data. Blue Relay is specifically for real iMessage on a hosted iPhone.

Try it

In your Crypton account (or on the public Blue Relay page), pick Reply or Full, choose a country, and pay. When the line is up, message from Conversations, or hook the API if you're building something.

Private line, project line, support line, automated line: same product, your call.
