For schools, shuls, teams & community organizations
One group text that reaches every phone.
Flip phones get a regular text. Smartphones get the free app. You send once — everyone gets it.
No monthly fee · you pay 1.4¢ per text sent · members never pay · live in minutes, not days
1 · Create your group
Your organization gets its own phone number — live within minutes. Run it as a group chat where everyone talks, or an announcements-only list where only you send.
2 · Add your people
Paste your contact list, share a one-tap join link, or have members text JOIN to your number. Approve new members first if you want.
3 · Send once, reach all
Smartphone members get it free in the app with notifications. Members without one get a normal text — 1.4¢ per person, prepaid, no contracts.
Who pays? Here's one real message.
Rivky sends a message to her 100-person group — 60 members use the app, 40 get texts.
✓ Members never pay — not to receive, not to send.
✓ The group's prepaid balance covers the pennies for text delivery — loaded by the leader with a card, in two clicks.
✓ The bill shrinks by itself as more members use the free app.
Prefer members to fund their own messages, or a local sponsor to cover everything? Both are one switch in your portal.
Built for real communities
✓ Every phone works — flip phones and kosher phones included, no app required to receive
✓ The app is free — every member who uses it costs your group nothing
✓ Chat or announcements — everyone talks, or only you, per group
✓ Schedule messages — weekly reminders send themselves
✓ Replies stay private on announcement lists — they come to your inbox
✓ You stay in control — approve joins, remove members, pause anytime
Want your texting paid for? A local business can sponsor your group — their name rides your texts, and 80% of what they pay becomes your text money.

Kosher-phone ready
Made for communities on filtered phones.
When half your members carry phones with no apps and no browser, group messaging has to come to them — as plain texts, in the inbox they already check. That's where HuddleText started.
✓ Plain SMS delivery
Regular texts to flip and filtered phones — nothing to install, ever.
✓ A number they know
Every message comes from your group's own number.
✓ They just reply
Answering a group text works like any other text — from any phone.
✓ Smartphones ride free
Members who do carry one get the same messages in the free app — at no cost to the group.
