Who's it for?
Do you need to send a reminder about upcoming events or course registrations to students?
Perhaps you need to send a membership alert or get a quick response to a question to gather feedback about a service or other matter?
There is no more effective way to send short, personalised, timely messages to a large database than through SMS.
SMS messages are seen, opened, read, and responded to (if necessary) by more people than email.
