What is SMS broadcast software?
SMS broadcast software sends one text to many people at once from a business number and shows who received it. Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, also sends the same announcement as a ringless voicemail or a recorded call, with unlimited users on every paid plan. Plans start at $15 a month.
Why it matters
Why send announcements with Broadcast.
Schedule your broadcasts
Write announcements days, weeks, or months ahead and they go out on their own.
Text, voicemail, or call
Send the same announcement as a text, a ringless voicemail drop, or a recorded call, all from the same credits.
A backup channel
If a text can’t be delivered, the broadcast can send a ringless voicemail or a call instead.
Send to the right group
Pick a list, a segment, or a filter, such as one location, one department, or one team.
Receive replies
When people reply to a broadcast, you see who replied in your account.

How it works
How to send an SMS broadcast.
- 01
Pick the recipients
Import a CSV of contacts or choose a list, a segment, or a filter, such as one location, one department, or one team. People can also join on their own by texting a keyword like STAFF or filling in a web form.
- 02
Write the announcement
Keep it short, say who it is from, and add a link or the next step people should take. The same announcement can also go out as a ringless voicemail drop or a recorded call, all from the same credits.
- 03
Send now or schedule
Pick the number it goes out from, then send it the moment it is ready or schedule it days, weeks, or months ahead. Turn on a backup so people the text does not reach get a voicemail drop or a call instead.
- 04
Check delivery
The report shows total, delivered, failed, unsubscribed, and pending counts for every broadcast. You also see who replied in your account and who texted STOP, so your next send goes only to people still subscribed.

The Response Is Outrageous!
“With Call Loop we've run multiple text and voice broadcasts and we've experienced ridiculous response along with our highest registrations 30 days even before our upcoming event. As event promoter, I'm always "under the gun" to put 'butts in seats' and with Call Loop, I've got a lot less stress.”
Dustin MSpeakingEmpire.com It's a HUGE time saver for us
“Call loop helped me save a ton of time. I use to call back all of my leads, but now I can everyone in one fell swoop instead of one by one. I highly recommend Call Loop!”
Chue LorChue Properties Fantastic support!
“Just wanted to let you know that twice now I’ve been online and have had the opportunity to work with Alex. She has been a GREAT help. She’s very responsive and has gone the extra mile every time I’ve needed it so that my issues are taken care of.”

What is SMS broadcasting?
Sending one text message to many people at once from a business number, with each person getting their own copy. Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, can also send the same announcement as a ringless voicemail or a recorded call.
How much does an SMS broadcast cost?
Plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits. A text costs 1 credit per 160 characters, a picture message 2, a ringless voicemail 2 per delivered drop, and a recorded call 1 per minute. Every paid plan includes unlimited contacts and users.
Can employees or members sign up themselves?
Yes. Put a keyword on a poster or in an email, such as “Text STAFF to [number]”, or share a web form. People who join land in the group you choose.
Do I need permission to text employees or members?
Yes. Text people who gave you their number and agreed to receive messages, and give them a way to stop. Marketing texts need prior express written consent. This is not legal advice.
