What it is

Text-Em-All is a messaging platform for businesses and organizations sending texts and voice broadcasts to opted-in contacts. It supports two-way conversations, automated messages, scheduled broadcasts, personalization tags, keyword automation, real-time analytics, and carrier registration. Voice broadcasts can be sent alongside SMS or instead of it. The iOS and Android apps handle replies, conversation management, and new texts to up to 15 people; mass broadcasts are sent from the web app. Its free Starter plan includes 25 credits for testing voice broadcasts and texting your own number, but mass texting requires an upgrade. Monthly pricing depends on the number of unique people messaged and starts at $19 a month for 1–50 people. Recipients must consent to messages, promotional messages require express written consent, and political solicitation is not allowed. The company says the service is not HIPAA compliant because messages are not encrypted at rest and standard SMS cannot be encrypted in transit. Integration options include staffing and church platforms, Zapier, viaSocket, and a REST API intended for high-volume messaging above 50,000 messages per month.

Text-Em-All (formerly Call-Em-All) in depth

Read the full write-up

Text-Em-All (formerly Call-Em-All) combines mass texting, voice broadcasts and two-way conversations for businesses and organizations. It is best suited to teams contacting opted-in groups that want scheduled outreach and a way to manage replies. Its audience-based monthly pricing is straightforward at smaller volumes, but its free plan is only for testing and it is not suitable for HIPAA-regulated communications.

Overview

Text-Em-All brings SMS and voice messaging into one service, with automated messages for opted-in contacts. The mix suits organizations that need more than one-way announcements, especially when recipients may reply. Pricing scales with the number of unique people messaged each month, so it can fit a defined audience; organizations with larger or changing lists should compare the monthly tiers with credit-based billing.

Founded in 2005, the company says it is employee-owned. Support is available by chat, email and phone, Monday through Friday, 8 AM–5 PM CST.

Key features

Teams can schedule broadcasts, personalize messages with tags, automate around keywords and monitor activity with real-time analytics. Delivery reports and carrier registration add useful controls for organized outreach, while two-way texting allows staff to handle responses in the same service. Voice broadcasts can accompany SMS or be used instead, giving organizations a second channel for announcements.

Integration options include native connections for staffing and church platforms, Zapier, viaSocket and a REST API. The API is aimed at high-volume messaging above 50,000 messages per month, and developer access must be requested from the company. That makes it relevant to larger or technically integrated operations, rather than a self-service API choice for every buyer.

The iOS and Android apps support replies, conversation management and sending a text to up to 15 people. They do not replace the web app for mass broadcasts, so teams that need to launch large campaigns while away from a computer will find the mobile workflow limited.

Recipients must consent to messaging. Promotional texts require express written consent, and political solicitation messages are prohibited. These rules make the service a poor fit for organizations that cannot establish the required consent before outreach.

Text-Em-All says it uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic and administrative safeguards, including restricting physical access to database servers and using password protections. It is not HIPAA compliant: messages are not encrypted at rest, and standard SMS cannot be encrypted in transit. Healthcare organizations handling protected health information should choose another service.

Pricing

The Starter plan is free, with no commitment. Its 25 credits allow voice-broadcast testing and texting to your own number, but mass texting requires an upgrade. It is useful for evaluating basic mechanics, not for contacting an audience at no cost.

The Monthly plan starts at $19 a month with recurring monthly billing. The price is $19 for 1–50 people, $39 for 51–100, $69 for 101–200, $99 for 201–300, $119 for 301–400, $139 for 401–500, $199 for 501–750, $239 for 751–1,000, $359 for 1,001–1,500, $479 for 1,501–2,000, and $599 for 2,000–2,500. The audience-based steps make this plan clearest for organizations with a predictable monthly reach; at 2,501 or more, the service directs customers to credits pricing.

Credits pricing has custom pricing, with rates starting from 9¢ per credit. Rates are 9¢ each for 400–999 credits, 8.5¢ for 1,000–2,499, 8¢ for 2,500–4,999, 7.5¢ for 5,000–9,999, 7¢ for 10,000–24,999, and 6.5¢ for 25,000–49,999; 50,000–99,999 costs 6¢ each, while 100,000 or more requires contacting the company. Credits can be added as needed, which may suit variable-volume messaging better than a recurring audience tier, but buyers should account for the per-credit rates when estimating campaign costs.

Standard messages can be up to 320 characters; credits support messages up to 1,600 characters. That distinction matters for teams sending longer texts, which need to budget on the credit basis rather than assume the standard message allowance applies.

Platforms

Text-Em-All supports web, iOS, Android and API access. The mobile apps are useful for handling conversations and small-group texts, while web access remains necessary for mass broadcasts. API access is geared toward high-volume use and requires requesting developer access.

Who it's for

Text-Em-All is a sensible choice for businesses, churches and other organizations with opted-in audiences that need scheduled texts, voice announcements and reply handling. Its free testing allowance helps assess the service before committing, and the monthly tiers give smaller audiences a clear starting point. It is not a fit for HIPAA-regulated messaging, political solicitation, or teams that need to run mass broadcasts entirely from a phone.

Pros and cons

Pros: SMS, voice broadcasts and two-way texting are combined, so teams can choose a channel and manage replies without splitting those tasks across services.

Pros: Scheduling, personalization, keyword automation and reporting support repeatable campaigns and follow-up.

Pros: A free test plan and audience-based monthly tiers let small organizations evaluate the service and estimate recurring costs.

Cons: The free plan does not allow mass texting, so real audience outreach requires a paid plan.

Cons: Mass broadcasts are web-only, limiting teams that need to send large campaigns from mobile.

Cons: It is not HIPAA compliant, and strict consent requirements rule out some sensitive or promotional use cases.

Alternatives

CallHub is worth considering for nonprofit marketing teams seeking a paid service with a free plan and trial; its Essential plan is shown at $0.05 a month with standard rates and free starting credits, and supports up to 10,000 contacts and 10 agents.

VoiceShot may suit buyers focused on a small urgent-alert list: its $9 a month plan covers 0–50 recipients, with no activation fee or contract and online cancellation.

Call Loop is another option for buyers who prefer fixed month-to-month credit bundles, including 250 credits for $15 a month or 500 credits for $25 a month.

DialMyCalls may suit a church wanting a limited free trial: its free church account covers an automatic call to up to 25 members, with a 30-second message once per week.

Hello Hunter Voice Broadcasting is an alternative for teams comparing voice-broadcast minute packages, including 4,000 minutes for $100 a month or 8,000 minutes for $200 a month.

Newfies-Dialer is an alternative for buyers considering a self-hosted or web-based dialer with paid port-based plans.

Adoptiv Voice Broadcasting may suit teams seeking per-seat voice broadcasting, with a Lite plan at $19 a month per seat and calling billed by the minute.

Sarv Voice Broadcast is another option for buyers comparing voice-broadcast services with custom pricing.

For broader comparisons, see Voice Broadcasting Software, Nonprofit Text Messaging Software and Mass Notification Software.

Verdict

Choose Text-Em-All if your organization needs opted-in audiences reached by scheduled SMS or voice and wants to manage text replies alongside broadcasts. Its strongest case is the combination of channels and audience-scaled monthly pricing. Look elsewhere if messaging must meet HIPAA requirements, if you need mobile mass broadcasting, or if your use case conflicts with its consent and political-solicitation rules.

Verdict

Text-Em-All offers both text and voice messaging, with pricing tied to the number of unique people messaged. Check the consent requirements and healthcare limitation before using it for sensitive communications.
