Company Background

Mobile Text Alerts began in 2011 when a volunteer youth pastor in Nebraska built a simple SMS alert system to communicate with a college group, evolving into a full business SMS platform. In 2020 the company joined with Vimbly Group, a tech investment company, enabling expanded resources while retaining the original team. Today it positions itself as “Your Dependable Business Texting Solution” and claims to serve over 20,000 companies including major brands. The mission is to help marketers, customer‑service teams and organizations communicate effectively via text messaging — reaching people reliably, automating processes, and analyzing outcomes. The positioning emphasizes ease of use, robust deliverability, and U.S.‑based support.
