To vote, your audience simply uses their mobile phones to send a text message to a local phone number. In the body of the message they indicate the option they would like to vote for (we provide a unique number for each option to make it really easy for your audience to vote).

Your audience can also vote online if you enable Web Voting.

Votes are received and displayed in just a few seconds.

We have a variety of different pricing plans to suit every requirement, including a completely Free Plan.

No catch, we promise. When you Sign Up for our free plan you will never be asked for any form of payment and you can use SMS Poll for as long as you like. If you require additional votes or would like to take advantage of some of our cooler features, you can upgrade at any time. But if the Free Plan meets your requirements, enjoy!

To vote, your audience sends an SMS to a local phone number. This is not a premium number so there is absolutely no charge for sending this message other than the standard local SMS charge they would incur the same as if they sent an SMS to a friend. In Australia this is less than 4 cents a message on most plans.

There is no limit to how many polls you can have.

The number of votes you can receive is limited by poll and by month based on the pricing plan that you are on.
