Can I send a free text online with Broadcast?
Broadcast is for businesses and organizations texting people who agreed to hear from them, not for one-off personal texts. You can try it free for 14 days; after that, plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits, and a text costs 1 credit per 160 characters.
Can I send SMS online without using my phone?
Yes. You write and send from your browser, and texts go out from a business number in your account. When people reply, you see who replied in Broadcast.
Do I need to register my number?
Yes. US carriers require 10DLC or toll-free registration before businesses can text. You register from your account; approval usually takes 1 to 7 days.
Can I send picture messages too?
Yes. A text costs 1 credit per 160 characters and a picture message with a photo or flyer costs 2. Voicemail drops and calls use the same credits.
Do I need consent to text my contacts?
Yes. Marketing texts need prior express written consent. Broadcast includes opt-out keywords, double opt-in, quiet hours in each contact’s time zone, and do-not-call scrubbing. This is not legal advice.
