After download plug-ins, please go to your phone’s settings, then go to app manager, grant Send SMS permission to these plug-ins.
You also have to grant Run in background permission to the app and all plug-ins. Here's the way for some models to grant Run in background permission.

go to Settings -> Battery -> Launch -> SA Group Text app
turn on Auto-launch and Run in background

go to Settings -> Apps -> Special access -> Optimise battery usage -> All apps -> turn off SA Group Text

Vivo
go to Settings -> More Settings -> Applications -> All -> SA Group Text -> Permission -> Single Permission Setting -> Autostart

XiaoMi
Permissions -> SA Group Text -> Start in background

Ratings and reviews

I send group-text announcements to four social groups every month. I have tried many apps to send group messages. This app the only one that does what I need: I can choose a subset of my contacts based on the "Label" field in Google Contacts. Other features look very good. . This is BY FAR THE BEST such app I have tried - BUT - setup is tricky: one must download a plug-in and give it permission, which is neither easy nor well explained. Minus one star for this complexity.

Initially i was very fustrated. I couldn't get the messages to send. It seems either the app gets confused on the number of messages. Despite the fact that i hadn't sent any messages, there was message count at the top of the screen of 396. So i downloaded 5 of the sms plugins, giving me 500 sms per hour limit. After this i was then able to send my messages. The developers need to spend more time explaining how the app actually works.

Used to be a great app, but recently hasn't been working properly, stops in middle of sending, and yesterday stopped sending entirely (been getting code 96 - no quota) tried emailing but didn't get a response. Checked their website and send to download the lite version from there and email them for license code to get full version, so I did and still didn't get a response
