FAQ

tXtBlaster is completely spam-free. We never sell or distribute your information to anyone, and the only txt messages you will receive are those sent from your tXtBlaster group.

In fact, we hate cell phone spam so much that if you do receive a spam txt message from someone, tell us and we will give you tips on how to get them to stop.

You will find a short advertisement at the bottom of each txt message sent by a group leader. Ads are placed below each txt message by the tXtBlaster team, and your information is never shared with our advertisers.

We are extremely selective when it comes to our advertisers. Also, we strategically target different ads to different groups, which means you will not receive anything offensive or out of context. If you do receive an ad you feel to be inappropriate or have any questions about ads, please contact us at: advertising@txtblaster.com.

We have a Premium Message Program option for those of you who are willing to pay a small price for ad-free messages. Soon we will have this option available on our website. If you would like more information please contact us at: info@txtblaster.com - and we will set you up with a program that best fits your needs.

A keyword is one word that uniquely identifies your group or sub-group. Each group and subgroup has its own keyword. The keyword is used when new members sign up and identifies your group when sending messages and managing members online. tXtBlaster keywords cannot have spaces and must be between 3 - 15 characters long. When someone wants to join your tXtBlaster group, they txt the group's keyword to BLAST (25278).

To join a group TXT the group's Keyword to BLAST (25278). TXT "stop" to stop and "help" for info.

25278 is our short code - the number that tells your cell phone carrier you're using our service. 25278 spells "BLAST" on your phone's keypad. Clever? We think so.

Send a message in 2 quick steps!

- Grab your cell phone and type a txt message (make sure it's no more than 100 characters long, or you'll get cut off).
- Send your txt message to our short code, BLAST (25278).

Note: If you have multiple tXtBlaster groups or sub-groups, tXtBlaster may not know where to send your message. In this case, you will receive a message asking which group you would like your message sent to.

Subgroups allow you to organize your tXtBlaster group members into smaller groups. Like groups, subgroups have their own unique keyword, and messages can be sent from the website or cell phone. Members can be part of multiple subgroups.

An Administrator is a member of a tXtBlaster group, who manages the entire group.

When someone creates a tXtBlaster group, they are automatically a group administrator. There can be multiple administrators for each group. An Administrator can allow other members full Administrative rights or just the ability to send group txt messages.

Send a txt with the group's keyword to BLAST (25278).

Stopping is just as easy as starting. Simply txt "STOP" to BLAST (25278).

If you are a member of multiple groups you will be able to select the group(s) from which you would like to stop receiving messages.

Your group's privacy is important to us - as is your group's ability to make sure only the people you want to receive your messages are getting them. To view or change your group's privacy options, go to "Group Settings". There are 3 privacy options:

Public Group (default): A Public Group is a group anyone can join if they know the group's keyword. To join, they txt the keyword to BLAST (25278).

Admin Approval Group: When someone tries to join an Admin Approval Group, an Administrator must approve them before they can become a member. When the person txts the keyword to BLAST (25278) their name will appear in the "Add Members" section of the group under "Pending".

Password Protected Group: Only those who know the group's keyword AND password can join a Password Protected Group. The password is created by a group Administrator.

When someone comes to the website for the first time, whether they're already a member of a group or not, they must register. Once they register, they will be able to view all the groups they are a member of, and they can create and join new groups as well.

Once someone is in is granted publishing permissions or is made an Administrator, they can immediately start sending messages from their phone without registering on the website.
