iBlueText

Overview

iBlueText, from RG Loomis LLC in the United States, sends iMessage from warmed Apple IDs on real iPhones, falls back to SMS or RCS, and adds WhatsApp. You can use hosted lines, where iBlueText runs the Macs, iPhones and numbers, or run its Bridge app on your own Macs. It also sells iPhone lookups and phone verification.

Key features

• REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, an llms.txt guide and an MCP server on npm with 30 tools
• iMessage screen and bubble effects, tapbacks, inline replies and a typing bubble on sends
• Photos, video, voice memos, vCards and PDFs, up to 5 files of 5 MB each
• Lookup API that checks whether a number is on iMessage
• HMAC-signed webhooks for replies, delivery, read and FaceTime call events
• Conversations API, campaigns, drip sequences and scheduled sends
• Built-in AI replies that can be paused per conversation for a person to take over
• SMPP v3.4 interface, plus GoHighLevel and Wix apps

Pricing

Hosted lines cost $99 a month each, plus a one-time setup fee from $249 down to $99 with volume. Self-hosted Bridge plans run from $29 a month for 1 line to $999 for 100 lines. Lookups and verifications cost $0.005 each. AI replies cost $49 per line a month and WhatsApp $19 a month. New accounts get 100 lookups, 10 verifications and 10 iMessages free.

How it compares to Linq

Both sell iMessage on dedicated lines with SMS fallback, flat pricing without per-message fees, signed webhooks and an MCP server. Linq lists a free Hobby tier and Pro from $260 a month, holds SOC 2 Type II, documents group chats, polls and iMessage apps, and publishes TypeScript, Python and Go SDKs. iBlueText documents no group chats or SDKs and caps each line at 50 new iMessage contacts a day, but it offers a self-hosted option, which Linq does not.

Best for

Marketing and sales teams that want low-cost iMessage outreach with list lookup, and teams that prefer to run the Apple hardware themselves.
