SMS campaigns let organizers and promoters text the people in their Community who opted in to messages. You write the text, and Trybe shows how it splits into parts (160 characters for one part, 153 each after that) and what it costs before you send: 10 tokens per part per recipient in North America, 25 international. Tokens cost $0.80 per 1,000 and never expire; organizers hosting paid events on Trybe receive bonus tokens. Trybe appends the event link and the line Text STOP to opt out, so replies are handled for you, and every link is tracked so orders can be attributed to the text. Delivery respects quiet hours: texts only go out between 8 AM and 9 PM in the recipient's local time. By default texts go through Trybe's shared numbers; you can also get a dedicated number, which needs toll-free verification (5 to 7 business days) or, for US numbers, A2P 10DLC registration. Each campaign then reports delivered, failed, opt-outs and clicks.
Keep it short: the counter shows characters, parts and the cost in tokens as you type.
Participants of an event, subscribers, lists or segments; only people who opted in to texts are counted, split North America and international.
Send now or pick a date, time and time zone. Texts outside 8 AM to 9 PM local time are held until the window opens.
See delivered, failed, opt-outs and clicks on the tracked link, and purchases when tickets are sold on Trybe.
10 tokens per message part per recipient in North America, 25 tokens international. A text of 160 characters or less is one part; longer texts are split into parts of 153 characters. Tokens are $0.80 per 1,000 and never expire.
Trybe shows the total in tokens before you send and blocks the send if your balance is short. Organizers hosting paid events on Trybe receive bonus tokens; you can buy more from Settings, Billing at any time.
Only people who agreed to receive texts from you. Trybe skips numbers without consent and tells you how many, and it removes invalid numbers automatically.
Trybe's shared numbers by default. You can also get a dedicated local or toll-free number; toll-free numbers need a verification that takes 5 to 7 business days, and US numbers need A2P 10DLC registration.
