Frequently asked questions about our text blast app
After more than a decade sending text blasts, we’ve received a lot of questions. These are the most common.
What is the difference between text blasts vs. group texts?
Text and SMS blasts are mass messages sent to numerous recipients separately and simultaneously. Text blasts are a type of BCC text message where recipients can reply only to the sender and cannot see all contacts that received the text blast.
