## What is Group SMS?

Need to alert the whole team, send holiday wishes to 200 people, or promote your business? Group SMS sends texts and MMS to entire groups and lists in seconds — straight from your iPhone, on your own plan, with no third-party service and no per-message fees.

WHY GROUP SMS • No servers, no SMS credits: messages go out through your iPhone's Messages app • Your contacts never leave your phone: complete privacy • No artificial recipient caps: block sending handles hundreds of contacts smoothly

CAMPAIGNS (PRO) — NEW IN THIS VERSION Need to reach 3,000 contacts? Create a campaign: pick recipients, duration in days and a time. The app computes your daily quota, reminds you each day with a notification and splits sending into manageable blocks. Pause, resume, extend or stop anytime — with progress and history always in view.

EFFORTLESS GROUP SENDING • Use your iOS contact groups or build unlimited distribution lists • Import contacts from CSV files • Search, select and exclude recipients on the fly

TEXTS THAT FEEL PERSONAL • {name} and {surname} placeholders: every contact gets their own message • Reusable templates for greetings, reminders, promos and recurring updates • Photo and file attachments (MMS)

SCHEDULE IT AND FORGET IT • One-time or recurring sends: daily, on specific weekdays, or monthly • On-time notifications when it's time to send • Home Screen widget with your sending stats

STAY IN CONTROL • Delivery outcome for every send: how many went through, how many didn't • One-tap resend to just the missed contacts • Statistics with delivery rate plus weekly and monthly activity

PERFECT FOR Coaches and sports clubs • Schools and class parents • Churches and nonprofits • Shops, salons and restaurants • Clinics and professionals • Event organizers • Holiday greetings

FREE to start. Go PRO (monthly, yearly or lifetime) to unlock campaigns and advanced features, ad-free.

Note: messages are sent through the iOS Messages app with your confirmation, on your carrier plan. Group SMS never sends anything without you and never uploads your data to external servers.

### 4/5 — KM

*2020-07-03*

This app worked great in the older version and now with the new update it’s smoother and looks better. Great ap - try it it works! 
You can have as many groups as you like - just add them in and select the members and start texting!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-06-24*

App crashes as soon as you add a group

### 3/5 — Very useful been using for years.

*2020-05-29, version 2.0.2*

I really like this but the latest update means I have lost the paid version. I had already previously paid for this app but now I have ads. I have tried to restore purchases but it says sorry none found. ???

### 1/5 — Crashes - junk

*2017-09-17, version 1.2*

Didn't even have a chance to try it. I created a group and started adding contacts. After about 10 it crashed.  Though it might be a blip so tried again, managed to add about 30 contacts this time and then it crashed again before I could save the group. Now deleted.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-03-20*

Selected contacts don't appear in the group so group stays empty. No response when using "contact me" link despite sending two queries.

### 1/5 — From the start

*2017-01-08*

Wouldn't let me create a group name, spent 10 minutes on it with no success. Deleted it. iPhone 5se
