TownCrierText is peer-to-peer texting for political campaigns. Volunteers send from their own phones through your campaign's numbers, one message at a time, with a real tap behind every send.
Every send requires a volunteer to tap, not an autodialer
No per-message markup
You pay your provider directly, and we never mark up your message costs
10-state ready
Compliance rules seeded for TCPA-sensitive states out of the box
How it works
Provision your numbers
Connect your own Telnyx account (Twilio and Bandwidth coming soon). Campaigns pay their provider directly, and TownCrierText never marks up per-message costs.
Volunteers send from their own phone
Each volunteer taps Send on their own Android device. Nothing transmits automatically.
Track replies and compliance
Opt-outs are detected automatically, and every send is logged with a volunteer-confirmed audit trail.
The real math
All-in-one texting platforms bundle their markup into a per-message price. We don't. Here's what that means at real campaign volume.
Typical all-in-one platform
600,000 messages/mo× $0.015
Monthly total$9,000
TownCrierText Pro + Telnyx
Platform fee$1,500
600,000 messages× ~$0.0075
Monthly total$6,000
Save roughly $3,000/month (~33%) at Pro tier volume — because you pay your provider's real rate, not a marked-up one.
Estimate based on Telnyx's published US 10DLC rate plus typical carrier surcharges, and a competitor's publicly listed per-segment price, as of mid-2026. Your actual provider cost depends on carrier mix and volume; connect any provider you choose.
