How to download it​

The best way to install Bulk Texter Pro is via one of the officially supported web stores - the Chrome web store, Firefox add-on store, or the Microsoft Edge add-ons store.

You can also find the official links on the Downloads tab.

Registration​

Now that you've installed Bulk Texter Pro, you'll need to register in order to start using it.

If you've never registered before, you can start a free 7 day trial by opening the user profile menu at the top right, and clicking "Register".

You can also click "Register" to log in to your existing account if you've registered previously.

If you're using Bulk Texter Pro with Google Voice, make sure that the email address you sign up with exactly matches the email address associated with your Google Voice account. Bulk Texter Pro will only work with accounts that are registered and paid for.

Setting up your computer for reliable background usage​

Bulk Texter Pro will generally work great in the background, even while minimized. However, your computer must remain on and awake for it to work.

To be certain that scheduled messages are sent on time, and that the autoresponder runs reliably, ensure the following criteria are met:

  • Make sure your computer is configured to remain turned on and awake. For specific steps, see the guide below that is specific to the type of computer you have.
  • Bulk Texter Pro is installed in a browser that is open and running.

Generally, Bulk Texter Pro will still be able to send texts even if you turn your display brightness all the way down, turn off your desktop monitor, lock your screen, or put your computer in screen saver mode, as long as the above criteria is met.

Please note that for security reasons, we recommend that you do not leave your computer unlocked while unattended.
