Update Max Voice Message Length
How do I change my maximum voice message length?
Text-Em-All allows you to record voice broadcasts up to 120 seconds by default. You can reduce this limit to control message length or save credits, since shorter messages consume fewer credits on pay-as-you-go plans.
- Navigate to your Settings > Voice Settings page
- Click Edit to the right of "Max Message Length" under "Broadcast Settings"
- Select your preferred length from the dropdown menu
- Click Save to apply your changes
Why can't I record a longer message?
If you cannot record up to your maximum length setting, two common issues may be limiting your recording time. Understanding these helps you resolve the restriction quickly.
Insufficient credits for your broadcast size
Voice messages consume credits in 30-second segments. Each 30-second portion requires 1 credit per recipient. If you plan to send a 90-second message to 100 contacts, you need 300 credits total (3 segments × 100 recipients).
When your account lacks sufficient credits for the full message length and recipient count, the system prevents you from recording beyond what your credit balance can support.

Account settings restricting message length
Your maximum message length setting may already be configured below 120 seconds. This setting applies to all new recordings until you change it.
Follow the steps above to check and update your maximum message length preference in your voice settings.
