WHY NOT JUST A GROUP TEXT?
Three ways to reach a group. One gets everyone.
A group text works until the group gets big. A group-chat app works until half the group never installs it.
Group-chat app
Great for the people who join.
- Everyone has to download it and sign up
- Muted notifications mean missed messages
- The quiet members never show up
SMSGO
Everyone, privately.
- Plain text or email, nothing to install
- No size cap on your list
- Replies come only to you, numbers stay private

QUESTIONS
Group texting without an app: the common questions.
Do my members need to download an app?
No. Members get a normal text or a normal email and reply the same way. There is no app, no account and no password for them. You run everything from the web, or from your own phone and email.
Is there a limit on how many people I can text?
Phones cap a group text at roughly 20 to 30 people. SMSGO sends each person their own private copy, so you can reach your whole list in one send.
Do members see each other’s phone numbers?
No. Every member gets a private message, and replies come back only to you. Nobody sees anyone else’s number or email address.
Can some members get email instead of texts?
Yes. Each member gets messages by text or by email, whichever they chose, and RSVPs from both land in the same count.
What does it cost?
$0.03 per text segment and $0.003 per email, with no subscription and no per-contact fees. $5 to start gets you about 166 standard text segments.
Can I send from my phone without opening a website?
Yes. Text #all, #GroupName or @Name plus your message to 240-786-1112 from your account’s phone. SMSGO shows the count and cost, and sends when you reply YES. The same commands work by email.
