How to send a mass text in 4 steps
Log into TextSpot
Sign in from any browser — there’s nothing to download or install.
Import or build a list
Upload your contacts (we auto-verify every number) or pick an existing list.
Compose your text
Write your message, add a link or image, and drop in merge tags to personalize it.

The types of mass texts you can send
With the right service, there’s a send for every moment — from an instant alert to a campaign that runs itself.
Reach hundreds of people the instant you hit send
Instantly broadcast an SMS or MMS to your whole list — perfect for time-sensitive alerts. Just select “Now,” pick your list, and send. Schools use it to alert parents of weather closures; restaurants use it to fill a slow shift.
Write it now, send it exactly when it lands best
Compose your message, choose “Later,” and pick the date and time. Schedule unlimited messages in advance — line up a whole month of Black Friday drops with exclusive promo codes and walk away.
Reminders and regular sends that run on autopilot
Set up a message once and have it repeat on the schedule you choose. Ideal for recurring reminders and annual events — a church can set Christmas service reminders to go out every December without touching it again.

How to choose a mass texting service
Not all texting platforms are built the same. The right choice depends on how you plan to use it, who you need to reach, and how much control you want over reporting and compliance. Here are the key factors to evaluate before committing.
-
01
Deliverability and compliance
If your messages aren’t getting delivered, nothing else matters. Look for a provider that supports A2P 10DLC, carrier compliance, and opt-in management, keeps you aligned with TCPA guidelines, and makes opt-out handling automatic.
-
02
Ease of use
Your team shouldn’t need technical training to send a campaign. The interface should make it simple to upload contacts, segment lists, schedule messages, and review performance.
-
03
Contact management and segmentation
Effective texting is rarely “send to everyone.” Make sure you can tag contacts, create segments, and personalize messages — the more precisely you target, the better your engagement.
-
04
Automation capabilities
Automation saves time and increases consistency. Look for drip campaigns, triggered messages, keyword auto-replies, and scheduled sends — essential for nurturing, reminders, and onboarding.
-
05
Two-way messaging
Texting should feel conversational. Confirm the platform supports real replies and makes it easy to respond quickly — shared inboxes and conversation assignment help when a team manages messages.
-
06
Integrations
Your texting tool shouldn’t live in isolation. Check that it connects with your CRM, email platform, website forms, and other tools to reduce manual work and keep data accurate.
-
07
Reporting and analytics
You should see more than just sent messages — delivery rates, click-through rates, response rates, opt-outs, and campaign comparisons so you know what’s working and where to adjust.
-
08
Pricing transparency
Understand exactly what you’re paying for. Ask about overage fees, carrier surcharges, short-code costs, and any long-term contracts. The best providers are upfront with no hidden surprises.
-
09
Scalability
Your needs next year may differ from today. Make sure the service handles larger lists, higher sending volumes, and additional team members as you grow — switching platforms later is costly.
-
10
Customer support
When issues arise, fast support matters. Check for live chat, phone support, or a dedicated account rep — a responsive team prevents small problems from becoming large ones.

Industries that use mass texting services
How many credits do I need?
Mass texting, frequently asked
Is mass texting legal?
Yes. As long as you have consent from your recipients before sending, mass texting is perfectly legal. The U.S. has anti-spam and consumer-privacy rules (like TCPA), and TextSpot handles opt-out and unsubscribe compliance automatically.
What is a mass text messaging service?
A platform that sends one message to hundreds or thousands of phone numbers at once — a faster, more cost-effective way to reach a large audience than calling or emailing each person.
Is mass texting the same as group texting?
No. There’s no group thread. Mass texts sent to your TextSpot lists are received individually — each person gets a private one-to-one message and never sees the rest of the list.
How much does mass text messaging cost?
TextSpot uses simple monthly or yearly pricing based on how many message credits you need, starting at $29/month for 500 credits. Larger plans lower the per-credit rate. There are no surprise fees beyond a one-time $19 carrier (A2P 10DLC) registration — and carrier fees are included in your subscription, not billed extra.
Are mass texts sent BCC (blind copy)?
Yes. Because of the volume, messages are sent individually — blind copy (BCC) style — so recipients never see each other. It’s an essential privacy standard TextSpot follows.
What kind of phone number can I use?
A local number, a toll-free number, or a short code. We recommend a local number for most businesses, but can set you up with a toll-free number or short code if you need one.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes — a 14-day or 50-message-credit free trial. During the trial you can import unlimited contacts and build lists to send to. No credit card required.
What’s the best mass texting service for small businesses?
The best fit includes every feature at every plan tier — instead of gating essentials behind upgrades — prices transparently, and doesn’t lock you into a contract. TextSpot was built for small businesses: all features on every plan, free incoming replies, a private number included, month-to-month with no contracts, pricing from $29/month, and real human support.
What’s the difference between mass texting and bulk SMS?
They’re the same thing. “Bulk SMS” is the technical/telecom term; “mass texting” is what most business owners search for. You upload a list, write a message, and send or schedule it to everyone at once.
How many people can I text at once?
There’s no hard cap — your limit is effectively your credit balance, since one SMS segment uses one credit. High-volume senders (100,000+ segments/month) get pricing that passes through carrier fees and includes the platform, unlike a pure API solution.
Can I send mass texts from my computer?
Yes. TextSpot is fully web-based — manage everything from your browser on any desktop or laptop, nothing to download. Here’s how to send a mass text, step by step. Most people find it easier to set up campaigns and import contacts from a computer.
