I have some questions. I run a gym that trains 16 basketball teams. Wondering if this app would be a good fit. Right now I have to copy and paste phone numbers into notepad then to text but only 10 at a time. Sometime teams have 11+ numbers. I’d like to send out a mass text to all parents and players in our entire roster.

Hey Trent,
We have a lot of coaches using our app for exactly your purpose (managing teams and classes, sending reminders and updates, encouragement, etc). The app helps you group your classes, teams, and staff into groups and send personal private messages to each person in the group. Give it a try and send us a support ticket if you get stuck. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
I run two companies and want to use your app
I have two questions
If I do a mass text to my iPhone contacts using your app. Does everyone see everyone else’s contact info or the number of people it was sent to?
Are the individual responses only seen by me just like a normal text?

Hi Jim,
All replies are individual and each message is sent as a separate thread so your recipients can’t see each other or their contact info and all replies are one on one with you.
Best,
Zak
Am I able to send this text to 300 people at once?
Hit Em Up does not limit limit you on the number of messages you can send, but as a measure to prevent spam — your carrier might! You can learn more about how to avoid that here: https://www.hitemupapp.com/avoid-spam-filters.
Side note: You do have to press send for each message in quick succession (it’s pretty fast). We know that there is a desire for a sort of fire hose option for sending messages in bulk, but it’s a tricky subject, which we cover in detail in the post mentioned above.
Hit Em Up prevents you from being forced to change your phone number. In essence: Carriers don’t want you to spam people. If we created an option to text from your number at super-speed, there is a high chance that your carrier will block your phone number from sending either temporarily or permanently depending on the circumstances.
Am I able to send a mass text but edit out some individuals from a particular text?

Yep! You can always pick your recipients before sending.
After I followed all the instructions until the “that’s it” part, it is sending me back to the text message and asking me to send the same message individually to each one of my contacts. Not sure what I did wrong?

That’s how it works! I understand that there is a desire for a sort of fire hose option for sending messages in bulk, but it’s a tricky subject which we cover in detail on our blog here: https://www.hitemupapp.com/avoid-spam-filters

Hi Evisa!
Yes you can use it to personally message people without them all seeing each other.
