## Overview

### Key benefits of Text Request

Sequences
- Schedule a series of text messages around a date important to you and your customers. Streamline your messaging process to ensure customers have the right information, at the right time.

Group/Bulk Messaging
- Instantly reach all your contacts at once with a single message. Like BCC group messaging, no one can see who else got it, and any replies come back to you, not the group.

SMS Payments
- Collect secure payments instantly through SMS messaging, and manage it all in one place.

Texting-First Platform Experience
- Text the way you want with our mobile app, Chrome extension, and desktop versions.

Pricing
- Free support and no contracts. Unlimited users, contacts, devices, contact groups, and group sizes.
