Any Free Group/Bulk Text Messaging Services?

The title pretty much says it all.

I have a Google Voice account and you can have Groups with that service, but I haven't been able to find any definitive info about the max number of recipients that you can have in each group.

With the GV account, you can only text up to 5 recipients with that service.

The idea is to use the service for local marketing that I'd like to be able to use for our local cities as well as surrounding areas.

So? Any free text messaging services that you can think of?

Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't use any free text message services because it's most likely they are just using smtp to deliver those texts. You get what you pay for. Use a proper service if you want proper results.

Thanks for the response, WillR.

Can you recommend any proper services that are inexpensive yet effective?

Thanks!

Chris,

It really depends where you are living, I am guessing the US. I don't have any direct experience with these services because I am in Australia but the most popular ones appear to be:

- Twilio
- Lime Cellular
