How to send text to multiple contacts without group message?
In times when everybody has at least three messengers, tons of emails, and accounts on social media it seems easy to reach to people. However, when we need to send text to multiple contacts without group message and make sure they read it, SMS is still the #1 way to send mass texts.
Recent research shows that SMS have the highest open rate comparing to emails and messengers. It happens because to see a message on WhatsApp or Telegram people must open the app, while SMS just strike them, and there’s no way out but to see it.
Say you want to notify your customers that your shop starts a massive sale. Emails will likely end up in the spam folder. Group SMS is not an option because it shows your customer that they are not the only one who received it. Everybody wants to feel important so what you need is to personalize those texts. So how to send text to multiple contacts without group message?

Is there a limit to the amount of people you can send to? If there is what is the different prices to increase limit?

Hi Chima,
We do not limit you in the app, but your carrier may rate limit you. See other article here on the topic and check out our FAQ
Thanks
WhT are the restricted feature for Australia ? also I am assuming the SMS are having the “BCC” feature ?
Author
Hi Palash!
We don’t restrict any features. However, Australian law and carriers may have their own best practices for texting which may be worth investigating if you have concerns. The BCC texting should work fine for you as it simply works via your default Messages App.

I have composed my message, selected contacts and hit “send” and it doesn’t do anything. My WIFI is on, so I do not understand why it won’t send my messages. Please help.

Hi Cathy,
Can you please fill out a support ticket on our homepage at https://www.hitemupapp.com/? Perhaps you should log out and back in and it will work again 🙂

Do the contacts see what other contacts I have sent the same message to? I don’t want them to see each other.
Author
Hi Gordon,
By default— no. All messages are private and one on one between you and your recipients where they cannot see each other.

When texting through this app what phone number does the recipient see? And does the recipient have to have the app too or does the text message go to their sms?
Author
Hi Kendra,
Hit Em Up passes messages off to your default phone number/ messaging app for sending so recipients will see your number as the sender. Recipients do not need the app to receive texts— it goes to their iMessage and SMS 🙂

I send a text to 50 people on my iphone. Everyone received the replies. What settings should my phone me on?
Author
Hi Deborah,
The default setting on Hit Em Up is “Personalized Mode”. You must keep that turned on and not switch it to “Group Mode” which sends grouped texts where everyone sees each other. By default that will not happen unless you explicitly override the settings on the gear icon on sending preview screen.

I have an iPhone 10
Will this work for me
I am a small farmer and want to let contacts know what’s available every week
Do you have a customer service phone number to help me
Hi! The business that we are running needs to be able to contact people and also send them links from time to time about alerts and updates to our site. Would the messages that we send out be able to have URLs added to them for recipients to tap and follow onto the site?
Author
Absolutely!
Is the recipient able to replay back to Me? So we can have a conversation about the content of My message?
Author
Yes! That’s how it works by default.
I send out over 900 texts to the same people 3 times a week.
I don’t want them personalized.
Can they be sent out without their names on them?
Can i set this up so i don’t have to enter each of them individually every time?
Author
You should use the personalization features for better delivery. Please see https://www.hitemupapp.com/avoid-spam-filters
You can create a group that is like a list you can select to send to.

On a monthly basis, I wish to send a text regarding the tenants current balance, which is different for everyone. Can I create an easy template to pass phone #, Name, Balance, Date?
I would use something custom created out of my excel spreadsheet to generate this list and and paste it or better yet have a process on my PC send the info to your system via FTP or something and have you send it?

This will also cause MMS to work as well with multiple recipeints, without using the Group Messaging features, so that way you can send multimedia to multiple recipeints. Only you will receive the replies when iMessage and Group Messaging are disabled.
