Hi,
I just wanted to ask what schools are using for text alerts to
students/parents? Ideal something that links to facility would be
great, if such a thing even existed.

Thanks
Keith

As I understand it Serco offer a sms service which links into the
facility admin MIS.

Keith,

Webtext.com I'd recommend as one of Serco's recommended suppliers, they were very helpful in any setup challenges (which were few) and are an Irish company and offer a competitive rate for schools.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Check https://www.iflow.net/ - 4.9c ex VAT per message. Not sure how this compares to others? No direct integration with Facility but it's easy enough to export the mobile numbers from Facility and import into iFlow. You can set up groups etc in iFlow.

A lot of primary schools use https://www.textaparent.ie/, or
http://www.aladdinschools.com/, which has a service which integrates
with student records.

Hi,

Given the previous post about Aladdin, just to say that our company Software
Asset Management Ireland (SAMI) also has a school management system
(Edvance) with a texting feature.

Thanks,

Ken Cowley
