The trick is doing it so each message looks personal — sent from your real number, not a shortcode. This guide shows how to send a text blast from your iPhone where every recipient gets their own private, individual text. ## TL;DR * A text blast sends one message to many people at once * Quick Send delivers each as a private, individual text — no group chat * Sends from your real iPhone number, not a shortcode * No per-message fees and no ~20–30 recipient limit * Personalize every message with names and custom fields ## What Is a Text Blast? A **text blast** is a single message sent to many recipients at the same time. Traditional text blast services send from a shortcode or toll-free number, which recipients immediately recognize as automated — and which often gets caught by spam filters. Quick Send takes a different approach: it sends your blast from your **real iPhone number**, delivering each person their own private, individual text. It looks and feels like a personal message, replies come back only to you, and there's no shared group thread. ## What People Use Text Blasts For Promotions, sales, and limited-time offers Event invites, reminders, and day-of logistics Appointment and booking reminders Team, staff, and volunteer announcements Fundraising and donor updates Holiday, birthday, and personal greetings ## How to Send a Text Blast (Step by Step) Using Quick Send — set up in under two minutes. ### Step 1.Build your recipient list Add contacts manually, choose a saved group, or import your whole list from Google Sheets or CSV. There's no ~20–30 recipient limit like native group texts. ### Step 2.Write your blast with personalization Compose one message and insert AutoText fields like {firstName} or {time}. Each person gets a text that reads like it was written just for them — not a mass blast. ### Step 3.Add a photo or file (optional) Attach a flyer, promo image, or document. Every recipient receives it inside their own individual message. ### Step 4.Send the blast Tap send and Quick Send delivers each message as a private 1-on-1 text from your real number — or use the iOS Shortcut to send the whole list with one tap. ## Quick Send vs. Shortcode Blasts Why sending from your real number wins for most people. ### Quick Send text blast * Sends from your real iPhone number * Each person gets a private, individual text * Looks personal — not like an automated blast * Flat pricing, no per-message fees * Personalization with names and custom fields * iPhone only (iOS app) ### Shortcode blast (Twilio, EZTexting, etc.) * Sends from a shortcode or toll-free number * Recipients know it's an automated blast * Per-message fees add up quickly * Higher spam-filter risk with shortcodes * Technical setup (dashboards, APIs) * Built for very large enterprise campaigns ### Keep Your Blast Out of Spam Sending too fast or with spammy language can trip carrier filters. Quick Send includes configurable batch delays to space out delivery.

A text blast is a single message sent to many people at once. With Quick Send, each recipient gets the message as their own private, individual text — not a group thread — so it looks personal and replies come only to you. ### How do I send a text blast from my iPhone? Use Quick Send. Build your recipient list (or import it from Google Sheets/CSV), write one message with optional personalization, then send. Each person receives an individual text from your real number. ### Is a text blast the same as a group text? No. A group text puts everyone in one shared thread with reply-all and exposed numbers. A text blast with Quick Send sends each person a separate, private message — no shared thread. ### How many people can I send a text blast to? Quick Send has no contact limit, so you can blast hundreds of people at once. Native iPhone group messaging, by contrast, becomes unreliable past about 20–30 recipients. ### Does a text blast cost per message? Not with Quick Send. Instead of per-message shortcode fees, Quick Send offers a flat subscription (or lifetime purchase) with 15 free trial messages to start. ### Will my text blast get flagged as spam? Because Quick Send sends from your real phone number rather than a shortcode, messages are far less likely to be filtered. Quick Send also includes configurable batch delays to help you avoid carrier spam filters.
