10DLC Texting
10DLC or Ten Digit Long Code numbers are standard US phone numbers. As of Feb 3, 2025, all businesses will need to register with 10DLC. IWhen creating your Textblast.io account, you will be prompted to provide the info required for 10DLC registration. TextBlast.io enables you to send SMS/MMS messages from up to 50 numbers at once, maximizing your reach and sending rate or “throughput”. Textblast.io is unique in that we are highly transparent in our pricing. We do not utilize a credit system; all you have to do is fund you’re wallet and start texting.
Toll Free Texting
We offer mass texting services via toll free numbers. Toll Free numbers have a much higher sending rate aka through put than that of 10DLC. If you are looking to send a high volume of messages, it is recommended that you use toll free numbers. The drawback, however, is that toll free sms messages are subject to much stricter carrier filtering than that of 10DLC so it’s important to weigh the options.
Hosted Texting
With Hosted Texting, TextBlast.io enables your existing 10 digit land line number to send and receive SMS/MMS messages. This is a fantastic option for sending high volume, and utilizing a number that your customers are already familiar with.

Why use textblast.io?
There are a multitude of messaging applications available today, but they are fundamentally different from a dedicated mass texting service. For instance, most texting apps impose a significant restriction on the number of individuals you can reach in a single mass text, with this limit typically capping at around 10 contacts for the majority of these applications. In contrast, a comprehensive mass text messaging service allows you to communicate with virtually unlimited numbers of recipients simultaneously.
Moreover, when it comes to messaging apps, if someone replies to a mass text, that reply is visible to everyone included in the group, which can be incredibly frustrating and is often regarded as one of the most annoying aspects of group texting. On the other hand, texting services that provide inbox functionality allow recipients to reply privately, ensuring that all responses flow into a designated inbox for effective management, thereby keeping conversations organized and separate.
Lastly, it is crucial to facilitate an easy process for individuals to opt-out of receiving your messages. Unfortunately, with many messaging apps, there may not be a straightforward method for users to accomplish this. They might find themselves fumbling through settings or muting conversations, which ultimately leads to a poor user experience. In contrast, all reputable mass texting services are required to efficiently handle specific "opt-out keywords," such as STOP and CANCEL, allowing people to simply reply with one of those words and be instantly removed from future communications.
