How can a business receive SMS online?
With Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, texts to your number arrive in your account, including replies to your mass texts, keyword sign-ups from signs and ads, and names and emails sent by text. Auto-replies answer for you, opt-outs are handled automatically, and you can follow up by text, voicemail drop, or call. Plans start at $15 a month.
Why it matters
Everything your list texts back.
Keyword sign-ups
People text your keyword from a sign, a flyer, or a radio spot, join the right group, and get your reply right away.
Names and emails by text
Ask for a name, an email, or any custom field by text, and Broadcast saves the answers to the contact.
An email when someone joins
Choose to get an email with the new contact’s details each time someone joins a group.
Automatic answers
Turn on auto-response for a number, and people who reply to a send get your message back, once per contact every 24 hours.
Opt-outs handled
STOP, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and the other standard words unsubscribe the contact automatically. Enhanced opt-out can catch variations too.
What it is
What happens to an incoming text.
A reply to your send
It shows on that broadcast or campaign, and the auto-response can thank them or send the next link.
A keyword
The contact joins that keyword’s group, gets the first reply, and can start a welcome campaign.
A STOP
The contact is unsubscribed from future texts, and your list stays clean.
Benefits
What it gives you.
You know who wants to hear more.
The replies show who is interested, so your calls go to people who already answered.
Your list builds itself.
Signs, flyers, and ads turn into contacts in the right group, with the name and email they sent.
Nobody types the same answer twice.
Keyword replies and auto-responses send the details, the link, or the thank you for you.
How it works
From send to reply.
- 01
Send or publish a keyword
Text your list from a broadcast or a campaign and ask people to reply, for example YES to an offer or an RSVP. Or put a keyword on a sign, a flyer, an ad, a radio spot, or your website so people text it to join.
- 02
Texts come back to your number
Replies show on the broadcast or campaign they came from, keyword texts add the contact to that group, and names, emails, and custom fields sent by text are saved to the contact. Each incoming text uses half a credit.
- 03
Act on them
Turn on auto-response so people get your answer back, once per contact every 24 hours, or start a welcome campaign from a keyword. Then call the people who replied, while STOP and the other opt-out words unsubscribe contacts automatically.

How do I receive SMS online with Broadcast?
Texts sent to your Broadcast number arrive in your account, including replies to your broadcasts and campaigns, keyword sign-ups, and answers to the questions you ask by text. Each reply shows on the send it came from.
What does an incoming text cost?
An incoming text or picture message uses half a credit. Plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits, with unlimited users and contacts.
Can I get an email when someone joins?
Yes. Turn on the email notification for a group, and you get an email with the new contact’s details each time someone joins.
What happens when someone replies STOP?
Standard opt-out words like STOP, CANCEL, END, and UNSUBSCRIBE unsubscribe the contact automatically, and enhanced opt-out can be turned on to catch variations. Keep only contacts who agreed to hear from you; this is not legal advice.
Is this a free number for verification codes?
No. Broadcast is for businesses that text their own contacts and receive their replies and sign-ups. It is not a public number for receiving one-time codes.
