Frequently asked questions
Is Universe truly unlimited for texts and iMessage?
Yes, Universe offers truly unlimited SMS and iMessage, allowing your church to communicate without worrying about caps or overages. While iMessage is not limited in the number of messages sent, there are limits on the number of new conversations that can be started, similar to how any normal phone operates on a carrier plan. All of our Universe plans, whether SMS or iMessage, are subject to a strict Fair Use Policy to ensure reliable and seamless communication tied to one dedicated number.
What makes iMessage different from regular SMS?
iMessage achieves reply rates of up to 92%, significantly outperforming the 2% average typically seen with SMS. This dramatic difference is due to the more personal and trusted connection iMessage creates through its familiar blue bubble, which users recognize and associate with reliability and authenticity. Additionally, iMessage offers built-in end-to-end encryption, ensuring that all communications remain private and secure. By leveraging iMessage, you can build stronger relationships with your audience, foster trust, and encourage higher engagement compared to traditional SMS messaging.
Can I send unlimited emails with Universe?
Universe includes $100 of credits every month for emails, equating to approximately 140,000 emails. These credits do not roll over, so you can maximize them each month. Additionally:
- Custom Email IPs: Universe includes a custom email IP for enhanced deliverability, allowing unlimited email sending.
- Best Practice: We recommend sending no more than 100,000 emails per IP monthly to maintain optimal performance.
- Scaling Options: You can add more credits for additional emails or upgrade to include additional custom IPs as your needs grow.
If your church consistently sends over 140,000 emails monthly, we’ll work with you to tailor a solution that fits your volume.
Does Universe include other apps or integrations?

Universe is a custom solution tailored to your church’s specific needs. To get started, simply book a call with our team to discuss your goals and ensure the plan is the perfect fit for your ministry.
Do You Support Text Blasts?
Our unlimited plan supports text blasts as long as proper policies are followed. For example, if you send 10,000 texts in a week and receive no replies while generating a lot of opt-outs, every carrier will flag your account. It’s important to ensure your messages are engaging and compliant with best practices.
For iMessage, mass text blasts are not supported. However, you can still use automated nurture campaigns, notifications, and drip campaigns with customizations through our automation and AI modules inside Church Posting. Be sure to follow our Fair Use Guide to stay compliant. Contact your success coach to build the best plan for your church!
If you’re looking for truly unlimited SMS with no pay-per-use, our Universe SMS upgrade is the perfect solution. This option is completely customizable, and you pay per line. Each line can send approximately 25,000 messages per month, and you can add as many lines as needed. The platform fee is $997/month, which includes 45,000–50,000 messages per month. Each additional line adds 750 messages per day (25,000/mo) for a one-time setup fee of $97 and a monthly fee of $97 per line
