How It Works

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you text START to managing an active group.

1. Register

   Text START to +1 (845) 600-0373 to register your mobile number with the service.

2. Create a group

   Once registered, use a simple SMS command to create a group. You become the group's owner.

3. Invite members and get consent

   Invite people by phone number. An invited person must explicitly reply YES before they are added to the group or billed for any message — no one is added without their consent.

4. Chat

   Once members have joined, everyone in the group can send and receive messages just like a regular group text.

5. Pay-as-you-go billing

   Each outbound group message is billed against your prepaid balance based on message length and the number of active group members.

6. Optional auto-recharge

   Enable auto-recharge so your balance tops up automatically when it runs low, or top it up manually whenever you like.

7. Manage your group

   Add or remove members, and manage your account, all with SMS commands — no app or web login required.
