The Flash App It always surprises us how few people use the advanced customizations for look and feel.

Text Message Lists (AKA SMS Broadcast, Group Messaging, Alerts) We don’t make a big fuss of it and offer it publically, but we have an entire hidden module that you can use to build opt-in lists.

Features:

• People respond to your polls and are sent an invitation via SMS to join the list.

• Bulk import phone numbers into lists

• Allow people to subscribe using a widget you embed in your web page

• Schedule messages to go out in the future

To get access, you need to email us and prove you’re not a spammer and you have a very ethical, legitimate use for the feature (for example, conference alerts).
