Sending Mass Texts From Your Computer with TextSpot

Sending texts one by one from your phone isn’t just a pain; it’s a productivity killer. The good news? You don’t have to. With TextSpot, you can send mass texts from your computer faster than you can say “Where’s my charger?”

Why Use Your Computer for Mass Texting?

You’d think mass texting from your phone is the way to go; after all, that tends to be what many people think of first. But around here, we’re all about the future, not the past. TextSpot combines the reach and open rates of SMS with the ease of email, and here’s how it can help:

• Saves time: Forget fumbling with your thumbs; typing on a keyboard is just better.

• Keeps you organized: Manage your lists, campaigns, and messages without scrolling through your phone like it’s 2007.

• Reaches more people: Send texts to everyone on your list. No sweat, no group chats, no awkward replies.

How to Send a Text Message From Your Computer

Most of the information on the internet about how to send mass text messages from your computer is wildly outdated. At one time, you could send texts via email using special domains from the wireless carrier, but that option has been discontinued due to security and spam issues. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) options like Google Voice are only meant to be used for one-on-one communication, and mass texts can get your account suspended.

Ultimately, text messaging platforms like TextSpot are the easiest way to send mass texts from your computer. Look for a platform that includes all the features and message limits or credits you need for your business in your subscription plan, without charging extra for basic functions like automation or CRM integration.
