Bonjour, ni hao, y konnichiwa! Poll Everywhere is unveiling new international text message (SMS) coverage. Hundreds of people have emailed us about using Poll Everywhere in their country, so we’re very happy to finally offer text message service to areas outside the United States. “Beta” features are things that might not be perfect; We’re calling this a beta feature because, while we tested it from five countries, we haven’t tested it everywhere. Be sure to test it yourself on our free plan, and email us if you find any quirks.

We now have text message coverage in the following countries, with more coming soon:

• Asia, Africa, & the Middle East
  • China
  • Hong Kong
  • Indonesia
  • India
  • Japan
  • Korea (South)
  • Malaysia
  • Singapore
  • Taiwan
  • Thailand
  • Saudi Arabia
  • South Africa
  • Qatar
• Australia
• Europe
  • Italy
  • Greece
  • France
  • Belgium
  • Czech Republic
  • Hungary
  • Austria
  • Germany
  • Netherlands
  • Spain
  • Portugal
  • Sweden
  • Turkey
  • United Kingdom
• Brazil
• United States

All existing customers can use Poll Everywhere when traveling overseas by changing their text message coverage in the profile page:

When you return home just switch the coverage area back to your home country.  Paid customers on our three largest plans may run different polls in different countries simultaneously – just give us a call or send us an email and we’ll be happy to help you out.
