  • Email it. The same commands work from your inbox, and you answer replies by hitting Reply.
  • Open the full controls. On a computer, phone or tablet: groups and teams, events with a headcount, polls, scheduling, and every reply in one inbox.

What the demo shows

The basics, a wedding weekend. The organizer texts from their own phone to SMSGO at (240) 786-1112: “#all Rehearsal dinner moved to 7:30 at the Lakeside Inn. Reply if you can’t make it!” SMSGO answers: “Send to 14 people (13 by text, 1 by email)? Est. $0.39. Reply YES to send.” The organizer replies YES and it goes out: 13 texts at $0.03 each and 1 email at $0.003. Dana, a bridesmaid, replies “I’ll be 10 min late, my hair appointment ran long!” Her reply comes to the organizer’s phone. The organizer answers just her: “@Dana Gotcha, no worries. Drive safe!” Then “#Groomsmen Suit pickup Friday at noon. Bring your shoes!” goes to the 6 groomsmen for $0.18. Finally the organizer texts #status and gets the group’s member count, balance, helpers and unread replies. Everything together cost $0.663.

Headcount, a pickup game with a Goal of 8. The invitation “Ultimate tonight at 6 at Neato Park. Need 8 players. Reply YES if you’re in!” goes to 24 people for $0.72. YES replies come in and the count climbs. A member texts STATUS and gets “4 of 8 players. We need 4 more.” When the eighth person says YES, SMSGO sends the organizer’s It’s ON message, “GAME IS ON! Ultimate tonight at 6 at Neato Park. See you there!”, to the 8 players.

WHAT SMSGO DOES

Get the word out. Get it organized.

SMSGO handles both halves of running a group. Communication, so everyone hears from you and every reply comes back. And coordination, so those replies turn into a headcount, a decision and a plan.

Communicate

Everyone hears from you. Every reply comes back.

  • Everyone, one group, one team or one personText #all, #Volunteers or @Dana, or pick them on the web.
  • Text or email, their choiceWrite once. Each member gets it the way they picked. No app, no account.
  • Photos, GIFs and voice clipsPlus map links to the venue and short links that count taps.
  • Schedule it or repeat itSend later, or set the weekly reminder once and let it run.
  • Every reply, privately to youOne Inbox. Answer from your phone, your email or the web.
  • A contact card they can saveOne tap saves your group in their phone, so they always know who’s texting.
How messaging works

  • PollsUp to 4 questions, answered with letters like 1A 2C. Results fill in live, then a results email when it closes.
  • Find a time and placeMembers rank days, times and places by text, and the best fit rises to the top.

YOU’RE THE HUB

Every reply comes to you. You decide who helps.

You’re probably in a few group chats of your own. With SMSGO, you’re the center: you send the news out, every reply comes back to you or the co-admins you delegate, and you choose who can add people, see replies and send messages, right from their phone.

Co-adminsTheir own login, and only the switches you turn on: send messages, see and answer replies, add people, run events and polls.

How helpers work

BUILT FOR PEOPLE ON THE GO

Four 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.

2

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.

3Patent pending

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.

4Up to 4 questions

Multi-question polls and results.

Ask up to 4 questions, each with 2 to 8 answers. Members reply with letters by text, like 1A 2C, or tap their answers in the email, and can add a comment. Results fill in live, with every name.

  • Nudge the people who haven’t answered. Send a reminder to just them.
  • Message the people who did. Write to everyone who picked an answer, like the 18 who chose Saturday.
  • Email a results digest to anyone. Yourself, leaders, staff or volunteers get a clean summary of the results and comments, $0.003 per email.
  • See every comment and what it cost. A full report, question by question, with the total spent.
See how polls work

And the basics organizers ask for: no subscription required, the cost shown before every send, delivery you can check, your own local number for $1.50 a month if you want one, and support from the founder himself.

YOUR TEAM

Bring in helpers. Stay in charge.

Add a co-admin in Settings in about a minute. They get their own login and only the switches you turn on. Make one a group coordinator and they see and text only the groups you pick.

  • Their own login. Email and password, or a code to their phone. Nobody borrows your password.
  • You flip the switches. Send, reply, add people, events, polls, Find a Time, even settings or billing.
  • Just their part of the group. A coordinator sees only their groups, like a maid of honor with the wedding party.
  • You see who did what. “Sent by” on every message, an activity log, and an end date you choose.

No extra fee for helpers. Their texts come from your wallet at the usual $0.03 per text segment.

WHY I BUILT SMSGO

I built it for my group. Now it helps yours.

It started with my weekly pickup Ultimate game. I needed a dependable way to reach about 80 players, see who was in, and announce “GAME IS ON!” when we had enough. Then other organizers found it, from a PTA with more than 100 families to a church youth group and a mahjong club.

If you’re trusting SMSGO with your group’s names and numbers, you should know there’s a real person behind it. I take that seriously, and I answer organizer support myself.

A real person helpsText support from your account and you reach a real person. Usually me.
Your list stays yoursYour members’ numbers stay private and are never sold.
VERIFIED BUSINESS MESSAGING

Your group sees a real, verified sender.

On supported AT&T and Verizon RCS phones, texts from SMSGO’s shared number show SMSGO.org and our logo instead of an unfamiliar number. Everyone else gets a normal text from the same number. Opt-in, STOP and HELP are built in.

AT&TRCS verified sender

✓ Verified by Google on supported RCS devices

RCS branding depends on carrier, device and messaging-app support. It improves recognition but does not guarantee delivery.
