[@BillRocklin]

love this product Scott ... but my application would be to inform & remind my high school alumni buddies of our monthly lunches and such ... too steep of a price for that ...

[@BillRocklin]

Might want to suggest to them to offer a limited free model, like MailChimp, for social use

[@Simpletivity]

Yes, this is certainly aimed at business users. Hope that you and your friends have a great lunch this month!

Great question! Stay tuned as I know the team is working on such a feature.

[@Eva-li2pe]

I’m thinking about doing this. Do you have best practice for Business Broker/Real Estate?

This page can be very helpful for those in real estate: simpletexting.com/industry/text-message-marketing-tool-for-real-estate/

[@tianshan2793]

what if you are offering your services and dont need their numbers to opt-in, instead, you can send a bulk message right away. Is that possible?

[@Simpletivity]

As long as you have permission to contact them, you can import or add their numbers.

[@tianshan2793]

so we can't cold SMS prospects using this tool?@@Simpletivity

[@Simpletivity]

No, and in most countries that is illegal.

[@emilyburton7193]

Does this work with your own cell phone number?

[@Simpletivity]

Yes, it can. Most would take advantage of the toll-free number that is included. But you can set this up with an existing number if preferred.

[@Abdulbari001]

In which country that available

[@Simpletivity]

This service is available in the US and Canada. If needing outside of North America, I'd recommend checking out ClickSend.

[@freshreserve2503]

I sale merchandise is it possible to send pics of products

[@Simpletivity]

I don't believe that is possible with this service. But you can always include a link directly to a product page or image.

[@freshreserve2503]

Asking because my customer may see number and think it spam if they don’t recognize my number I’m one ppl who ignore these spam type of text reason I want

[@keshavrajak]

Will anyone join network marketing for free?

[@nivlocnevets]

Scott, I love your channel and content. But, NO! NO! NO! I hate text ads, they are just as bad as telemarketers. I don't trust most unsolicited text ads and don't want to deal with even legit companies that waste my time. Texts have a 98%, 3 min response rate because they are usually personal and important. Text ads should only be opt in, not spam! That being said, I really do appreciate your video, and have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[@nivlocnevets]

I'm sorry! because it doesn't directly apply to my business. I didn't watch the whole video. You are referring to opt in business communication.

[@Simpletivity]

Thanks for the follow-up comment. I would never support unsolicited text communication. Opt-in is crucial!
