Or switch to group chat mode when you need everyone in one conversation. Trusted by realtors, coaches, churches, event planners, restaurants, and small business owners across the United States. WHY MASSTEXTER? • Personalized 1-on-1 Bulk SMS Send mass messages that land as individual private texts.

"Hey [firstname]" becomes "Hey Sarah" automatically. Every contact feels personally addressed. • Send From Your Own Phone Number Use your own iPhone number and your regular unlimited texting plan. No business registration required, no separate texting service to sign up for, no per-message charges. • Pacing Between Messages for Larger Lists Built-in delays between sends help you space out messages naturally when reaching out to many contacts at once. • CSV Import & Contact Groups Import contacts from a CSV file or your iCloud address book. Organize them into reusable groups and update them anytime. • Templates That Save Hours Save your most frequently sent messages as templates.
