Mass text app or Program.

[hskerholic]

I am a officer for a Union that is way behind on the use of technology. I am working on updating that. I was wondering if anyone had an app or program where I can put everyone of my members cell phone number and and send one mass text about things coming up. Like Union meetings or work rule changes. 

 

Thanks for your help!

A lot of coaches at our school use Remind.  I am sure there are a ton of others.

@hskerholic Slack is a very popular app utilized by some major corporations. It not only allows for quick and easy communication between multiple parties, but you can also house and share files alongside a plethora of other features. I've never personally used it but my wife's work does and it always looked pretty valuable.

Why not just make a twitter account.  Then people you don't even know can comment on your tweets and tell you how horrible you are.  #TwitterLife

Do these Apps need to be downloaded by all parties. I am looking for something where I can enter all 175-200 members phone numbers and send a mass SMS message.

In remind you give the people a number to text.  They sign up that way.  I don't think you need an app, although I have never used it.

I guess it is targeted towards education.  We have Slack, but I have never used it.  We have a system we use through our School Administration software to text everyone.
