Have you ever wanted to send mass text messages? It is possible to do it by adding phone numbers, one at a time in to the “To” field of the text app on your phone, but that can get to be tedious, and especially so if you want to send another message to that same group at a later time!
So, I was happy to find Mass Text Message Basic. Sorry Android users, this is an iPhone only app.
From their website we learn that Mass Text Message Basic is available for FREE and allows users to create one group, with an option to upgrade to the full version for unlimited groups and additional functions.
App Description:
Save time with this efficient app for group text messaging. From large group iMessages to individual personalized messages, this app can streamline your mass texting.
Create a custom group. If you would like to create more than one group, please upgrade to the full version with in-app purchase. Once groups are created, you no longer have to select contacts one-by-one for a group message. Simply tap on the group and send out a text in a matter of seconds.
New Features:
-Personalize your messages with the recipient’s name and get delivery confirmations. (Single In-app Purchase – No subscription required)
