iPling's "SMS groups" Terms of Service in the U.S.A.:
YOU
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF IPLING, FOR ANY GROUP(S)
YOU CREATE, FOR ANY CONTENT YOU TEXT TO THE PEOPLE
THAT JOIN YOUR GROUP(S) AND FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES
THEREOF. BY USING IPLING, YOU AGREE TO BE CONTACTED
VIA TEXT MESSAGES BY THE AUTHORS OF THE GROUPS YOU JOIN AND BY THOSE THAT JOIN YOUR GROUPS.
Program Description: iPling's SMS group service allows
users to i) send text messages to multiple recipients with
a single SMS and ii) receive text messages from the authors of the groups they decide to join. Users may send up to 6 text messages per
group per day and there is no restrictions on the number
of groups a user can create or join.
Supported U.S. Carriers: iPling's SMS group service has been reviewed and approved by many of the major carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, Nextel, Virgin Mobile, Boost, T-Mobile, Cincinnati Bell, Alltel and US Cellular. We expect that the service will be approved by all major carriers by September 2011.
Cost in the U.S.: There are no premium charges associated with this service in the United States. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Group Size Limits: The maximum default group size is
100 (one hundred) members. You will be notified via text
messages if and when any of your groups reach the default
size limit. To bypass a group’s default size limit, you
must agree to cover the associated costs incurred by
iPling by purchasing iPling Credits under a private service
contract with iPling, Inc. Note that such costs will
not appear on your cell phone bill and will not be deducted
from your prepaid balance.
Support/Help: To request support at anytime, text HELP to 99123, email support@ipling.com or call 1-866-637-9995.
Privacy Policy: Your privacy is our top concern. iPling
will never, under any circumstances, sell or distribute

for whom you have not approved. iPling will never directly
market to you any services for which you have not opted
in, either by cell phone, text message, or email. iPling

you, including your phone number, name, billing information,
or any other piece of identifying information.

must request an iPling group name by texting NEWGROUP followed
by the name they want to use to iPling’s dedicated shortcode
(99123). Upon confirmation of the group name availability
by iPling, the group author may disclose the group name
to those he/she wants to reach via SMS messages. To notify
the group, authors must begin their text messages (sent
to 99123) with the word NOTIFY or IPLING followed by the corresponding
group name and by the message they want to comunicate.
Users that are interested in receviving text messages
can subscribe to a group by texting JOIN followed by
the name of the group they are interested in following.
How to opt-out: You can opt-out of

How
do I create groups?
To
create a group simply text the word NEWGROUP to
iPling’s dedicated 99123 short code.
iPling will instantly generate a group name that
you can then share with those that you want to join
your group. If you want to choose a specific name
then text NEWGROUP followed by the NAME you
wish to use (e.g. NEWGROUP CLUB10)
to 99123. If the name is still available iPling will
instantly assign it to you.
Notifying your group is then as easy as sending a text
message to 99123 beginning with the
word NOTIFY (or IPLING) followed by
your group name and by the message you wish to send
(e.g. NOTIFY CLUB10 there is no practice
tomorrow afternoon. See you next Monday!).
You may disband your groups at any time by texting DISBAND followed
by the corresponding group name to 99123.
Note that for your groups to grow over 100 members,
you must parchase iPling Credits by clicking the button
below and following the directions provided:

is. Once you have it, all you need to do is text JOIN followed

code (e.g. JOIN CLUB10).
If
an author so requests it, you may send him/her a
text reply by texting ANSWER followed
by the corresponding group name and by your reply.
(e.g. ANSWER CLUB 10 This is John
coach. We’ll see you on Monday. Enjoy the weekend).
