Works on flip phones and kosher phones

The group chat that fits in a flip phone.

Your group gets its own number. Anyone texts it, replies YES, and every message reaches everyone. Plain SMS, nothing to install.

How joining works

1
Text the group's number

Or the organizer adds you because you asked. Either way you get one text:

BunchText: Reply YES to join the group 'Bais Yaakov 3rd grade'. You'll get texts from other members of this group. Msg freq varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
2
Reply YES

Nobody is in without saying so. You get one confirmation:

BunchText/Bais Yaakov 3rd grade: You're in. Text this number to reach the group. Msg freq varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
3
Text like any contact

In a chat group, everyone sees it. STOP leaves, HELP helps.

One number per group

Save it as a contact. Every text to it goes to the whole group. No threads to untangle.

Join by replying YES

Nobody is added without agreeing. STOP leaves. HELP helps. NAME sets your name.

Owner sets the rules

Open chat or announcements only. A daily cap. Quiet hours. A Shabbos hold.

Only a penny and a half a text. No minimum.

Members pay nothing. The group owner loads a balance and pays only for texts sent. Smartphone members can read the group in the app instead, free.
