Frequently asked

How many people can I send to at once?

No limit on any plan. The system queues messages and sends them in batches to avoid carrier filtering.

Will this affect my monthly call/SMS count?

Broadcast SMS is separate from your call count. It does use SMS sends, which are unlimited on all plans.
