iMessage everyone at once. Individually.
One message, personalized and delivered as a separate 1:1 text to each contact, from your own iPhone number.
The problem with the other ways
One reply-all punishes the whole list, and everyone sees everyone.
One thread at a time. Nobody sustains it past five contacts.
Write once. Every contact gets their own private, personalized 1:1.

Questions, answered
Is an iMessage blast a group text?
No. Every recipient gets their own private 1:1 thread from your number. No one sees anyone else's replies, and no group chat is ever created. Each message is also personalized per recipient, so it reads like the individual text it is.
Do the messages really come from my own number?
Yes. Blasts send as iMessages from your own iPhone — blue bubbles, your real number, a contact your customers already recognize. There are no short codes, no rented numbers, and iMessage from your own phone is not subject to A2P 10DLC registration.
Is it automatic, or do I send each message?
You fire the sends. Apple requires that a human sends each iMessage, so FollowUp prepares every personalized message and you send them from your device in seconds each — you stay in control of every message that leaves your number.
Is the iMessage blast free?
Yes. The Free plan includes iMessage blasts (mass texts sent as separate 1:1 iMessages) from your own iPhone, with no cap on contacts and no credit card. Blasts are free your first 7 days, then you keep 2 free blasts a month, for good. Every plan sends to up to 200 people in any 24 hours from one iPhone. Your first 7 days also include guided iMessage drip sequences (up to three published drip sequences and 100 outbound steps) and 10 free voicemail drops from your own cell. Plus ($29 a month) keeps guided drip sequences on and adds your own business number. Pro ($79 a month) adds voicemail drops.
Where do replies go?
Straight to your Messages app, in each person's own thread — because these are real texts from your real number. If you want replies tracked and classified by AI inside FollowUp, that's what the business-number (SMS) channel on Plus and up is for.
