BUILT FOR ORGANIZERS, NOT MARKETERS

Three things that make SMSGO different.

1

Run your group from your phone or email.

Text #all, #GroupName, @Name or #ADD to 240-786-1112 — or email the same commands. SMSGO shows who gets it and what it costs before anything sends.

#all Practice moved to 7.Send to 75 people? Est $2.25. Reply YES to send.

Members choose text or email.

You write once. Each person gets it the way they prefer, and replies come back to one inbox. Nobody downloads an app or makes an account.

Events that count, then announce.

Set the number you need. SMSGO counts YES replies and guests, and the moment you hit it, sends “GAME IS ON!” to everyone. This is what SMSGO was invented for.

And the basics organizers ask for: no subscription, the cost shown before every send, and support from the founder himself.

Jonathon Lunardi, founder of SMSGO and pickup Ultimate organizer in Silver Spring, Maryland SMSGO has caused over 60 games to happen!

WHY I BUILT SMSGO.org

SMSGO helps me coordinate our weekly Ultimate frisbee pickup games.

Our local group has about 80 active players. I needed a dependable way to send game requests, track who was in, and automatically send “GAME IS ON!” when we reached the number of players we needed.

That system has helped make more than 60 games happen. Then I realized the simple sending part was useful far beyond Frisbee: organizers often just need a fast, affordable way to reach their people — and sometimes they need Polls or Events to do more of the coordination for them.

If you're trusting SMSGO with your group's names and phone numbers, you should be able to see who built the service and know there is a real person behind it. I take that responsibility seriously, and organizer support is something I personally care about.

I'm also a UFA referee for the DC Breeze. Professional teams trust me to make game-deciding calls. I hope that helps you trust me with your group's contacts. Read the whole story →

WHEN PEOPLE REPLY

Replies come back. You choose where they go.

Your members just reply to the text they received. SMSGO keeps every response together in your Inbox — and can also forward replies to your phone, your email, or both.

Normal replies — members just text back. No app or login.
One Inbox keeps names, numbers and conversation history together.
Phone forwarding lets important replies reach you away from the dashboard.
Email forwarding sends the reply to your inbox — and you can answer from email.
Reply where you want — web, phone or email.

WHEN A MESSAGE NEEDS MORE THAN A REPLY

Ask the group. Let SMSGO organize the answer.

Polls help you see what the group wants. Events go one step further: SMSGO counts who is in and can automatically act when enough people say yes.

POLLS

Ask once. Watch the answer take shape.

Send a poll to everyone or selected groups. People answer by text, and the results organize themselves as replies arrive. The organizer always sees the results inside SMSGO.

SMSGO GO

The organizer decides whether members can request the latest results.

Turn on the RESULTS command and any member can text RESULTS to SMSGO. SMSGO sends that person the latest Poll results by text. Leave it off if you want results visible only to the organizer.

Organizer always sees results Optional RESULTS command Results returned by text Target everyone or selected groups
EVENTS

And when the count determines whether something happens…

Events use the same idea, but add a threshold, live RSVP counting, automation, and the STATUS command. Most organizers start by just sending. This is what SMSGO was invented for.

THRESHOLD-DRIVEN EVENTS USPTO PATENT PENDING

When enough people say yes, the event turns on.

Choose the minimum you need. SMSGO counts YES replies and guests as they arrive. The moment the threshold is reached, SMSGO can automatically send the message you chose — like “GAME IS ON!”

Set a threshold — 8 players, 20 volunteers, 50 attendees, whatever your event needs.
Members reply YES, YES +1, or check the current count with STATUS.
SMSGO can nudge, invite in waves, manage caps, and announce automatically when the threshold is reached.
For Events, STATUS works like RESULTS does for Polls: a member can text it to get the latest event count and status by text.

PAY · DONATE · CONTRIBUTE

We make it easy for your members to help pay for the costs.

Running a group shouldn’t mean paying for everything yourself. Every SMSGO group gets its own branded contribution page with your logo, banner photo, colors and description. Members text one word to chip in.

  1. A member texts PAYDONATE and CONTRIBUTE work too. No app, no account.
  2. They get their own linkA unique, secure link to your page, tracked in your Links page so you can see who tapped.
  3. They pay on your pageAny amount from $3 to $1,000, with Stripe checkout right on your branded page.
  4. It lands in your walletThe full amount goes into your group’s SMSGO wallet (SMSGO covers the card processing fee), and you get a notification.

Share the page in a group text, an email or on a flyer. Every dollar goes toward the messages, invitations, RSVPs and reminders that keep your group together.

REAL CUSTOMERS. REAL TEXTS. REAL STORIES.

Organizers from around the USA are using SMSGO.

These are real customer groups using SMSGO today. Some send simple updates. Some collect replies. Some coordinate events. The common thread is simple: reach your people by text without making them download another app.
