GroupMe is the best way to chat with everyone you know. It's absolutely free, whether you are talking to a group of friends, or texting with one person. Best of all, it works on nearly every phone, via push or SMS. With GroupMe, it's easy to reach anyone, anytime, anywhere.
On GroupMe, you can catch up with your family, get a group together for a night out, coordinate with co-workers, or just gossip with a few of your closest friends. Think about it like your own private Twitter, just for the people you really know. Or like a faster, better reply-all email.
Now a part of the Skype family.
Connect the app just once, and we'll keep you up to date with push notifications. No need to log in every day… it just works.
NOTE: SMS chat currently available in US only. Standard text messaging rates may apply.
