About SMS Poll

SMS Poll is a text message (SMS) voting and polling service. It allows audiences to vote via SMS or web, with results displayed in real-time in PowerPoint presentations or on a website.

SMS Poll is a web-based service for creating and conducting live audience polls via SMS text messages and web voting. It positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to traditional hardware-based Audience Response Systems. The platform allows users to create polls, customize the appearance of real-time result charts, and embed them into PowerPoint presentations or websites. It offers a free plan with a monthly vote limit, alongside several paid subscription tiers with higher vote capacities. The service supports polling in multiple countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India. While the website's copyright notice extends to 2017, suggesting it may not be under active development, it remains operational for sign-ups and use.
