How to send a mass text with private replies.
You want to reach everyone at once, but you don’t want 40 people reading every “👍”, “Can I bring my kid?” and “Wrong number.” The answer is a mass text where each person gets their own copy, and every reply comes back to you alone.
Send through a group texting service instead of a group chat. With SMSGO, each person gets a private copy by text or email, nobody sees anyone else’s number, and replies land in your inbox, phone or email. Answer one person without anyone else seeing it.
Same message out. Very different replies.
Every reply comes to you. You choose where.
Your Inbox
One conversation per person, with their name and the message they were answering. Routine YES and NO answers are filtered out, so the Inbox shows what needs you.
Your email
Get each reply by email as it arrives, or an hourly or daily digest. Answer by hitting Reply, and they get your answer as a text.
Your phone
Get reply alerts by text, up to a daily limit you set. Answer anyone with @Name from your own phone.
Busy day? Text or email MUTE to pause alerts and UNMUTE to turn them back on. Replies still save in your Inbox.

Private reply questions.
How do I send a mass text where people can’t reply all?
Send it through a group texting service like SMSGO instead of a group chat. Each person gets their own copy, so a reply goes only to you, never to the rest of the group.
Will people see each other’s phone numbers?
No. Each person receives a private copy, so phone numbers and email addresses stay hidden from everyone else.
Where do replies go?
To your SMSGO Inbox, with one conversation per person. You can also get them forwarded to your email, your phone, or both, instantly or as an hourly or daily email digest.
Can I answer one person privately?
Yes. Hit Reply on the email alert, text @Name from your phone, or answer from the Inbox. Only that person gets your answer, by text or by email if that’s what they chose.
Can I pause reply alerts?
Yes. Text or email MUTE to pause alerts, and UNMUTE to turn them back on. Replies still save in your Inbox. You can also set a daily limit on alert texts.
Can people reply by email?
Yes. Members who chose email can reply to your message, and their reply comes to you the same way. Replies by email are free.
Do replies cost anything?
Replies texted back are $0.03 per segment and itemized in your billing. Replies by email are free. Reply alerts are $0.003 by email or $0.03 by text.
How do I get fewer replies to deal with?
Use text-back answers for common questions like WHERE or PARKING, events that count YES and NO for you, STATUS for live counts, and polls that turn answers into a tally.
Where to next.
Reach everyone. Hear back privately.
