Re: [LUG] Text Messaging

 

A whatsapp group message will go to all the group members, it might get chaotic if they all start replying in the group though! The whatsapp web app (via a browser) is also functional, so its usefully cross platform.

Hi All

I run a youth group and one of the principle ways of communicating is through text messaging. Although the list is small it is growing and we are thinking of developing it for our cluster of churches. However, it would be easier if it could be managed through one interface.Â

Does anyone know of a web based text messaging system that sends messages via phone numbers rather than the free offers that seem to send using email please?

Thanks

Rich

Whatsapp sends messages to phones via the internet so effectively costs nothing (above your normal ISP) costs. Never tried automating it but they have a group feature that allows 256 'people' to chat together - dont know it you can message them in one go though.
