Looking for software/company that will send SMS blasts

[Jack Mastrangelo]

Hello all.

I'm looking into setting up both a text blast as well as an autodialer. Is anyone aware of any companies that will do SMS blasts even if the recipients haven't opted-in?

Most companies that will send out a bulk SMS for you without you owning the list are outside of America because a law in 2003 made it very hard to send out SPAM messages without getting in trouble. My virtual assistant can send out 300 individual messages and I’ll have to field at least 30 calls or SMS replies. A report once found that 99% of text messages are read. That’s a pretty good open rate!!  If you’re not selling anything and respectful then you can find deals
