SMS Poll is a robust SMS polling solution that allows educators, promoters, public speakers, market researchers, and others to quickly and easily set up polls and allows people to respond by sending a text message to a local phone number. SMS Poll offers a fast and easy way to find out what your audience is thinking. It requires no special hardware or software to be installed, and you can create a poll very easily in a matter of seconds. Results can be viewed in real time from a website, blog, or even a PowerPoint presentation and the average cost of the solution is about $10 per month. There are no limits to the number of polls that you can start and you can select the date and time that the polls will end ahead of time. You can also customize the way that votes are displayed for more dynamic presentations, and also view such basic data as the times individual results were received. At the moment this service is available only in Australia and the UK.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
Many organizations like universities may have issues with the fact that their students will be charged by their carrier each time they receive a message unless they have an unlimited text message plan. Is SMS Poll trying to address this issue with the carriers?

| Poll Everywhere is a misnomer. It is US only. | ||

| Agreed, but the Poll Everywhere blog chronicles them doing this piece by piece for a year. SMS Poll clearly got some "inspiration" and just put a shiny UI on it. Where is the spirit of innovation? At least this gives people in the UK and Australia an option at all... | ||

| I've never heard of Poll Everywhere. But I've just checked them out and I would disagree with you. SMS Poll's UI looks a lot better. Their control panel inside is very intuitive too. | ||

| This just looks like a crappy knock-off of Poll Everywhere which has been around for a year now.Old news. | ||
