Texted is the easiest way to send bulk SMS messages to groups, and to respond to their replies individually. Unlike traditional group texting, your contacts will not see one another in the text thread, and only you will receive their replies for direct follow-up from the app. You can access your Texted account on the web as well, at texted.io. Texted’s intuitive interface and flow makes sending bulk messages simple: -Add credit and claim your own personal phone number -Upload or individually add contacts with their mobile numbers -Assign your contacts to groups -Send a message to everyone within a single group (this will trigger individual SMS messages from your number) -If a contact replies via text, you will receive the message in the app, and can respond individually from the app There are many applications for this unique one-to-many setup: -Texted for Marketers: Notify your customers about upcoming events and promotions to keep them informed. Maintain multiple affinity groups to target your messaging and improve engagement. -Texted for organizers: Coordinate volunteers or project contributors to let them know when to meet where, and who is working on what.
