Frequently asked questions
Grouped by the part of the platform they are about. If yours is not here, email us and we will answer it — and probably add it.
Getting started
Signing up, setting up, and getting your first campaign out.
4 questionsDo I need my own phone numbers?
No. We provision and register your sending numbers during onboarding, including the 10DLC paperwork the carriers require. If you already have numbers you want to use, we can bring those across instead.
How long does setup take?
You can import a list and send a campaign the same afternoon you sign up. Carrier registration runs in the background and is usually cleared within a couple of business days.
Do I need a card to start the trial?
Yes. You pick a plan and add a card to start the trial, but nothing is charged for seven days. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not billed at all.
Do you offer onboarding help?
Yes. Setup, number provisioning and 10DLC registration are included in every plan, and support is threaded inside your account so we can see your workspace while we help.
Campaigns
Sending to a list, and what happens while it runs.
6 questionsHow fast does a campaign actually send?
As fast as your numbers safely allow. Sending is paced per minute rather than rationed per day, so a 5,000-contact list finishes the day you start it rather than trickling out over a fortnight.
Is there a limit on campaign size?
Campaigns handle up to 5,000 contacts each. For a bigger county pull, split it across campaigns — the seller-level records still merge into one thread per person.
Can I edit a campaign after it has started?
Yes. Change the name, the sending number, or the message text mid-flight. Contacts already texted are not re-sent to.
Can I pause or delete a running campaign?
Both. Pausing stops sending immediately and keeps the progress; deleting removes the campaign while leaving the conversations it produced intact.
Why do my messages need to differ from each other?
Carriers fingerprint identical message bodies sent at volume and filter them silently. Write your alternates inline and every recipient gets slightly different wording, which lifts both deliverability and reply rates.
Can I personalise each message?
Yes — merge fields pull in the first name, street, city or any column from your list, so the text reads like it was written for that person.
Seller leads
Turning a conversation into something you can work.
4 questionsWhat counts as a seller lead?
Whatever you decide. Promote any conversation to a lead from the thread itself; the qualification questions — motivation, timeline, condition, asking price — are there when you want them and optional when you do not.
What is kept on a lead record?
The qualification answers, the full SMS history, your notes, your tasks, and any nurture sequence assigned to them — on one record rather than spread across tools.
Can I delete leads in bulk?
Yes. Select as many as you like and remove them in one go, for when a list turns out to be a dud.
Does marking someone not interested block them?
No. Only wrong number, dead and blocked suppress the number. Not interested today is not the same as never contact again.
Nurture
Automated follow-up for the leads that need time.
4 questionsHow is a nurture campaign different from a normal one?
A campaign sends once to a list. A nurture campaign is a template you assign to individual seller leads, and it sends its steps on a schedule over days or weeks.
Does it stop if the seller replies?
Yes, immediately. Nobody receives a scheduled follow-up after they have already started talking to you.
Can I use the same sequence for many leads?
That is the point of it being a template — build the follow-up once and assign it to as many leads as you like.
Do nurture messages respect quiet hours?
Yes, exactly as campaigns do, in each seller's own timezone.
Lists and templates
Getting data in and reusing what works.
4 questionsWhat format does my list need to be in?
A CSV with a phone column, plus whatever else you hold — name, address, city, state. We map the columns for you.
What happens to duplicates?
They collapse. The same seller appearing on three lists is still one person with one thread.
Are opt-outs screened before I send?
Yes. Every import is checked against your suppression list before a single message goes out, and the import report tells you exactly how many were excluded.
What are SMS templates for?
Saving the campaign openers that perform and the replies you send twenty times a week, so they are one click away instead of retyped.
Deliverability and compliance
The rules that decide whether your texts arrive.
5 questionsWhat is 10DLC and do I have to do it?
It is the registration US carriers require for business texting. Unregistered traffic is heavily filtered or blocked. We handle the brand and campaign registration for you during onboarding.
What happens if a number gets flagged?
Traffic rotates across all your approved numbers, so no single one carries enough volume to attract attention. If one does need to rest, pause it and the rest carry on.
Will you text people at 3am?
No. Quiet hours are enforced in each seller's own timezone, worked out from their state — not from your office clock. A message outside the window is held until it opens.
How do you know a message was delivered?
From the carrier's delivery callback, which arrives minutes after the message is accepted. Tools that report at the moment of sending are telling you they handed it over, not that anyone received it.
Is Text Blast Pro legal advice?
No. We give you the controls and handle carrier registration, but you remain responsible for having a lawful basis to contact the people on your lists. If you are unsure about the TCPA or your state's rules, talk to a lawyer.
Reporting
Knowing what actually worked.
3 questionsWhat can I see per campaign?
Sent, delivered, failed, replies and the seller leads it produced — separately for every campaign, not just totalled across the account.
Why is my delivery rate not 100%?
Because it is real. Some numbers are disconnected, some are landlines, some carriers reject. A tool showing you a hundred per cent is reporting that it handed the message over.
Can I export my data?
Yes — leads and conversations, as a file, whenever you want, without asking anyone.
Billing and account
Plans, limits and leaving.
5 questionsWhat counts against my monthly texts?
Each outbound message segment you send. Replies you receive do not count against your allowance.
What if I go over the plan allowance?
Sending pauses rather than quietly billing you for overage. Move up a plan at any time and the new allowance applies straight away.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Any time, from your billing settings. Cancel and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
What is the AI Replies add-on?
An optional $150/month extra that drafts a suggested reply from the thread when a seller asks something awkward. You send it, edit it, or ignore it — nothing goes out on its own.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Export it before you go — leads and conversations, in a plain file. Opt-out records are retained so those numbers are never contacted again.
Ask a person instead.
Support is threaded inside your account, so we can see your workspace while we help rather than asking you to describe it. Not a customer yet? Email works too.
