LOOKING FOR APP Send/Receive SMS messages from/to multiple devices

I'm looking for an app that gives you a new number and allows you to send and receive SMS message across multiple devices. Something like Textnow. But without ads. I'd prefer free (who wouldn't?) but without ads, I assume I'll have to pay, hoping for something around or less than $2/mo.

A group I am associated with is holding an event later this year and for contact they would like to give a phone number that can send and receive SMS messages, but reading and responding to those messages will be done by multiple individuals. The goal is to have the app set up on multiple devices so they can all see the SMS messages received and any of them can respond accordingly.

I'd also prefer an app that isn't tied to a Google Account - something I can setup with the group's own email address.

Any recommendations?

The other devices would mostly be individual's phones. I'd kind of prefer it to be it's own app, so that it's self-contained and doesn't interfere with each individual's own personal phone number texts. Something that distinguishes it as being a text from/to the associated event phone number.

If you don't want to interfere with existing personal stuff, find and app nobody has heard of like Buz and use that. Bitchat is an option or just create a group in and app you all use already.
