Lexy programs and services are absolutely free.*

* However, since we do not own your mobile carrier, standard airtime and text charges do apply.

Getting started on your mobile phone

To get a real feel for all the joys of Lexy, call toll-free 877-394-5399 (877 FYI LEXY) and Lexy will play you a few selections from our most currently popular entries. At the conclusion of each Lexy, you’ll be asked if you’d like to add that selection to your playlist. Just say “yes” or press “8” and it’s done. Bonus: you’ll also be notified when that Lexy is updated with a new post.

If by chance Lexy plays you a Lexycast that does not interest you, simply press “9” to skip to the next category. If you want to hear more selections like the Lexycast you are hearing, simply press “3” for related Lexys.

Building a LexyList
