What txtWave is
txtWave is a paid service for peer-to-peer text notifications and messaging, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Subscribers can create SMS and MMS campaigns for telephone numbers they select. They manually write each message, choose its recipients, and control when it is sent; these steps are not automated. The service is intended for informational messaging rather than traditional marketing, advertising, or consumer sales promotions. txtWave says it cannot send messages randomly or on a recurring schedule. Each standard SMS is limited to 160 characters, and sending a message or broadcast debits the related message quantity from the account. Delivery is handled by third-party mobile carriers and is not guaranteed by txtWave. Its privacy policy says it collects message content and related details such as timestamps, message length, and reply rates for internal analysis, fraud prevention, service improvement, and usage trends. The service says it takes reasonable measures to protect personal information but cannot guarantee the security of transmitted information. Its terms make no representation that the service is appropriate or available outside the United States.
