Bulk texting
Text your whole list, minus the people you shouldn’t
Bulk sends check every contact before anything goes out. Opted-out and expired contacts are skipped, and you see exactly who will get the message before you send it.
Get early accessHow it works
Pick an audience
Send to everyone or to a tag, such as “spring service” or “VIP customers.”
Write once, in both languages
Personalize with {first_name}, and add a French version for contacts who prefer French.
Review, then send
See who will receive it and why the rest are skipped. Tidewire sends at a steady pace and respects quiet hours.

Questions
How fast do bulk texts go out?
Tidewire sends at a steady rate that local numbers handle reliably, about one text per second, so carriers don’t flag your messages as spam.
What happens to contacts without consent?
They’re skipped and counted in the audience check, so you can see how many and why before you send.
Do French texts count as more messages?
No. Each text up to 160 characters counts as one message, in French or English.
