Frequently asked questions
What is an SMS broadcast? +
An SMS broadcast is a one-to-many message sent from a business to a list of contacts simultaneously. Unlike individual texts, a broadcast sends the same message (with optional personalisation) to hundreds or thousands of recipients at once. Businesses use SMS broadcasts for promotions, reminders, announcements, and event invitations.
How is an SMS broadcast different from mass texting? +
SMS broadcast and mass texting are often used interchangeably. The distinction is subtle: "mass texting" typically refers to very high-volume sending (thousands+), while "SMS broadcast" implies more targeted, campaign-based sending to specific segments. LimeCall supports both use cases from the same platform.
Can I schedule SMS broadcasts in advance? +
Yes. LimeCall lets you schedule SMS broadcasts for any future date and time. You can plan campaigns in advance, set the optimal send time for your audience's time zone, and manage your entire broadcast calendar from the LimeCall dashboard.
How do I track SMS broadcast performance? +
LimeCall provides real-time delivery reports for every SMS broadcast showing total sent, delivered, failed, and reply counts. You can also track click-through rates if you include links, and see which individual contacts replied to follow up directly.
What are the legal requirements for SMS broadcasts? +
For SMS broadcasts, you must have explicit prior consent from each recipient. In the US this is governed by TCPA, in the UK by PECR. Every broadcast must include an easy opt-out option (usually "Reply STOP"). LimeCall handles opt-out management automatically and maintains consent records to help you stay compliant.
