What broadcast SMS means
Not a group chat. A direct message to everyone.
Broadcast SMS sends one message individually to every member on your roster — each person receives it as a direct SMS on their own phone, not as part of a shared thread. When they reply, the reply comes privately to you. Nobody else sees it. There is no group thread, no reply-all, and no algorithm deciding who sees your post. Just a direct text from your team's dedicated number to every phone.
The distinction from a group text matters. In a group text, everyone sees everyone's replies — which creates noise, causes people to mute the thread, and buries important messages. In a broadcast, each recipient gets the message as if you texted them individually. The experience for the recipient is a private direct message. The experience for the sender is sending one message to everyone at once.
Log in to your RallyText dashboard from any device. Type your message, choose who receives it, hit send. Your delivery log updates in real time.
Option 2
From your existing Messages app
Text a keyword to your team's dedicated number from your regular iPhone or Android Messages app. "ALL practice canceled" sends the broadcast to everyone. No dashboard required.
Option 3
Targeted by group
Send to a specific subgroup — coaches only, parents only, a specific shift group, or any segment you define. Right message, right people. The rest of the roster doesn't get it.
Recipients get
A plain SMS — nothing else required
Every recipient gets a direct text to their phone number. No app to download, no account to create, no notification to enable. If they have a phone, they get the message.
SMS delivery vs alternatives
Why SMS reaches people when other channels don't.
SMS has a 98% open rate and is read within 3 minutes of delivery on average, according to Salesforce and Campaign Monitor. Compare that to:
Email: 20-30% open rate. Subject to spam filters, old addresses, and people checking inboxes once a day.
App notifications: Require installation, account creation, and active notification settings. Frequently muted.
Facebook posts: Organic reach ~20-30% of group members, algorithmically filtered.
Group texts: Important messages buried under unrelated replies. Many members mute active threads.
SMS doesn't require anything from the recipient except a phone they already have. It doesn't compete with other content for algorithmic visibility. It arrives directly.

Broadcast SMS sends one message individually to every member on your roster — each person receives it as a direct SMS on their phone, not as a group thread. Replies come privately to the sender. There is no shared thread and no reply-all chaos. It's the difference between texting each person one-at-a-time and having a system do it simultaneously at scale.
No. Recipients receive a plain SMS message on their existing phone. No app, no account, no notification settings required. If they have a phone, they receive the broadcast.
