Apologize for a long delay in texting and confirm your friend's current contact information.
Hey! I am so sorry it has been so long since we last talked. I completely lost track of time.
Oh, hey! No worries at all. I was actually wondering how you were doing. It has been a few months, hasn't it?
It really has. I felt bad when I realized how much time had passed. How have you been?
I've been good, just really busy with work and a recent move. Life has been a bit hectic lately.
I can imagine! By the way, I heard a rumor that you might have changed your phone number. Is this still the best way to reach you?
Actually, I did get a new number for work, but I'm keeping this one for my friends. So you can still text me here.
That's good to know. I'll make sure to keep this number in my contacts then.
Perfect. Anyway, we should grab a coffee soon and really catch up properly.
I would love that. Let me know when you are free next week and we can set something up.
Sounds like a plan! I'll check my schedule and send you a message tomorrow.
