SMS Outperforms Email and Social Media. Here’s Why.

When you need customers, clients, members, or supporters to actually see your message — and take action — nothing comes close to SMS.

Text messages are opened within minutes, not hours or days.

With open rates above 90% and most messages read within 3 minutes, text messages give your announcements, promotions, and alerts the visibility email and social feeds can’t match.

Texting is an intimate communication channel.

99% of text messages originate from personal contacts – that’s why they’re engaged with so quickly. When you send a text, you join the group that gets preferential treatment.

No competition for your recipient's attention.

No spam folders, no buried posts, no shifting algorithms — just a clear, direct path to where your audience is most engaged and their direct attention, no distractions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How fast will my messages be delivered once I hit “Send”?

Messages begin sending almost immediately. Depending on carrier traffic and message volume, most campaigns start delivering within a few seconds.

We operate Canadian and U.S. carrier-approved pathways to ensure the fastest delivery speeds possible.

Is there a minimum message-volume requirement or usage threshold?

No. BROADCASTsms works for both low-volume and high-volume senders. Whether you want to message 50 people or 5,000, we’ve got you covered!

Our pay as you go plan, for instance, starts at $9.99 allows you to add message credits only when you need them. It’s ideal for low volume senders who need to send messages only sporadically. 

Can I send mass texts outside of Canada?

Yes. BROADCASTsms can send to recipients in both Canada and the United States.

International messaging (outside CA/US) is not currently supported, but Canadian companies with cross-border customers can run campaigns freely in both countries with your existing account.

What do I need to do to make sure my messages comply with CASL?

To comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), you must have received express consent from recients before sending them text messages (implied consent is valid under Canadian law, but in order to obtain approval for a special number for bulk texting, only express consent is considered valid). 

The messages themselves must include an option to opt out (we take care of this for you by inserting “Reply Stop to end” into all messages) and those who do must immediately be removed from subsequent messaging campaigns (again, this is handled automatically by BROADCASTsms). 

What’s the difference between SMS and MMS in terms of cost?

SMS, or “short message service” is a standard text message and includes up to 160 characters per segment (longer, multi-segment messages can be sent but it’s more expensive to do so). 

1 text messaging credit = a single, 160 character message sent to 1 person.    

MMS (multi-media messaging) can include…

  • Images.
  • Animated gifs
  • Up to 1,600 characters of text. 

MMS uses 2 credits per recipient, but delivers richer content, higher engagement, and more visual impact.

Can I schedule campaigns or set recurring messages?

Absolutely. BROADCASTsms allows you to…

  • Schedule a message for a specific date and time. 
  • Build drip campaigns using a number of different interval options (by days of the week, days of the month, or specific intervals based on when the recipient subscribes).   
What happens when someone replies to a mass text campaign I send?

It depends. BROADCASTsms offers two options, and you can choose which works best for you…

  1. The sender gets a “messages not monitored” response, informing them that you cannot be reached in this manner. This is ideal if you do not want to manage customer responses. 
  2. The message is routed to BROADCASTsms’ inbox. Here you or your team can respond in real time from any logged-in device, essentially having a one-to-one text chat with the sender. BROADCASTsms includes unlimited users, so multiple staff members can monitor replies simultaneously. 
Are there any restrictions on what kind of content I can send?

Yes. All messages must comply with carrier and regulatory guidelines. Examples of prohibited content include:

  • Illegal substances
  • Cannabis
  • Hate, violence, harassment
  • Adult content
  • Certain financial content
  • SHAFTA content (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Adult industries)

Promotional messages are allowed for most industries as long as you have valid consent.

What happens to my unused credits if I downgrade or cancel?

As long as your subscription remains active, unused credits roll forward indefinitely.

If you cancel your subscription, any unused credits expire when the account closes (unused credits are not refundable). 

If you downgrade, your existing credit balance remains intact—you simply receive fewer new credits per billing cycle.

How secure is my data and who has access to it?

Your data is stored exclusively in SOC II certified Canadian data centres and protected with enterprise-grade 256-bit encryption.

Only authorized staff from your organization can access your campaigns, contacts, and conversations. We never share, analyze, mine, or resell your data.

Your account belongs entirely to you, and you retain full control over your subscriber lists and message history.

Is there a contract and how long is it for?

All our subscriptions run month to month only, no contract required. You may cancel anytime by sending us an email (there are no cancelation feesfor doing so). 

Do you bill in US or Canadian dollars?

We can bill in either currency, depending on your preference. Canadian customers are typically billed in CAD$, US customers in UD$. 

Can I give access to other team members, and if so, how many?

Yes, you can add unlimited staff or team members to the platform. There is no “per seat” charge on BROADCASTsms. 

Can I control how much access team members have on the platform?

Yes. BROADCASTsms includes a number of features that allow very granular control over access including…  

  1. Admin access for a User/Agent. 
  2. 5 “access levels” which control which modules the User/Agent can access within the software.
  3. List access control, which restricts access to lists, so that User/Agents can only message specific audiences (or none at all).

BROADCASTsms labels each campaign with User data, so you’ll always know who is responsible for sending it. It also features Access Logs so you have complete oversight over who is logging in and using the software.    

Does BROADCASTsms integrate with other platforms?

Yes.

BROADCASTsms includes an API and a integration with Zapier to faciliate access to 1,000s of third party applications. 

    How steep is the learning curve?

    BROADCASTsms is designed to be super user-friendly to use, even if you’re not technically oriented, or intimidated by technology. We’ll…

    • Set up a Zoom onboarding session to show you the basics.
    • Help you set up your account.
    • Set up your automated systems to build your audience your audience on autopilot.  

    … and provide any support you need along the way (although our clients seldom need our help – the platform is so simple to use).  

    Is there a guarantee?

    Yes. We’re so confident that our mass texting service will pay for itself (with whatever metric you care to apply) that we will completely eliminate all risk from your subscription by offering an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee on your first month’s subscription of our Bronze, Silver or Gold subscription packages.
