Mass Texting Service That Keeps Every Send Compliant
A mass texting service sends one message to many contacts at once from a registered business number. ColdTexting sends mass texts only to contacts with a consent record, checks each message before scheduling, respects quiet hours by time zone and suppresses STOP replies across every number.
The short definition
What a mass texting service actually does
One message reaches hundreds or thousands of people in minutes, and every reply comes back to your company, not to a personal phone.
A mass texting service is software that sends a single SMS to a whole contact list from a registered business number and keeps track of what happens next: delivery, replies and opt-outs. Sending mass texts from a phone app or a spreadsheet macro skips the parts carriers and courts care about, so the safe version always has three layers underneath the send button.
- Consent record
- Proof that a contact agreed to receive texts, stored as source, timestamp, IP address and the exact form text they saw.
- Registered sender
- A local 10-digit number tied to your brand and campaign through 10DLC registration, which US carriers expect before they deliver business traffic.
- Suppression list
- Every number that replied STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END or QUIT, removed from all future sends on every line you own.
Before the send
The audience shrinks to the people who said yes
A list of 4,120 contacts rarely means 4,120 lawful recipients. The pre-send check shows who goes, who waits and who is held back, with the reason for each.
Consent before volume
Contacts without a consent record never enter the send queue. Purchased lists are blocked at import, so the question of whether a contact agreed is answered before the campaign exists.
Sending waves by time zone
A campaign scheduled for 10 am goes out at 10 am in Miami, then Chicago, then Seattle. Federal quiet hours (8 am to 9 pm recipient local time) and stricter windows in Florida, Oklahoma, Washington and Maryland apply automatically.
Cost you can see
The confirm step shows total segments before anything leaves, so a stray emoji that doubles the count gets caught on screen instead of on the invoice.
Choosing a method
Group text from a phone versus a mass texting service
Both put the same words on many screens. Only one of them leaves a record you can show a carrier, a client or a court.
| What matters | ColdTexting | Group text from a phone |
|---|---|---|
| Recipients see each other | Never, every text is one to one | Often, replies go to everyone |
| Proof of opt-in per contact | Yes | No |
| STOP removes the number from future sends | Automatic, on every number | Manual, if someone notices |
| Sends respect recipient local time | Yes | No |
| Carrier registration for business traffic | 10DLC brand and campaign | None, personal line |
| Replies shared with the team | Shared inbox with assignment | Stay on one phone |
| Delivery report per campaign | Yes | No |
If your list is large and the message is identical for everyone, the mechanics are the same as bulk SMS messaging. If you want to fire one announcement at a whole segment on a set date, the scheduling side is covered by text blast software inside the same workspace.
Volume and plans
How many texts each plan carries
Plans are counted in segments. A plain text up to 160 characters is one segment, so a single campaign to 2,000 contacts uses 2,000 segments.
Usage counts what you send in the billing period, so deleting a campaign never hands segments back. When a list outgrows a plan, the next plan up carries it, and the upgrade is charged on the spot. The full breakdown sits on the mass texting pricing page.
| Plan | Segments a month | Numbers | Yearly price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 500 | 1 | $24 per month |
| Growth | 2,500 | 3, pooled | $74 per month |
| Scale | 10,000 | 10, pooled | $249 per month |
| Enterprise | 40,000 | 30, pooled | $749 per month |
Monthly billing costs $49, $149, $499 and $1,499. Pooled numbers use sticky sender, so a contact always hears from the same number.
