What is a mass texting service?

A mass texting service lets an organization send one message to thousands of people at once, with each recipient receiving it as a private, individual text — not a group chat. The sender writes a message, selects a contact list, and the platform handles delivery, compliance, opt-outs, and reporting automatically.

98% open rate

Email averages under 25%. When the message matters, text is the channel that delivers.

Best practices for text announcements

An effective text announcement identifies the sender, states the key information first, and includes one clear action if needed. Keep it under 160 characters — one segment, one credit per contact.

01
Identify yourself

Recipients need to know who is texting them. Start with "Grove Medical:" or "Ridgeline High School:" before the message body.

02
Important info first

State the closure, deadline, or change in the first sentence. Don't build to it.

03
One action per message

If a response is needed — call a number, log in, reschedule — state that one action at the end.

03

Orange-stars

Text-em-all is a user-friendly, fast, and effective way to communicate with our members. It is great to be able to save a recorded announcement and use it when we are ready. I also like that the calls are completed faster than they were with our hardware-based calling system.
