What Is Text Banking?

When you text bank, you send large numbers of messages to cell phones using specialized software provided by partner organizations. You do not use your personal texting plan. You can do this from your computer, tablet, or any device with internet access.

Texting works because people read text messages, especially short direct ones. It also gives recipients an easy, low-pressure way to ask questions or engage in conversation. Because you can send hundreds of messages quickly, it is an efficient way to take action.
