Txt Stream Easy Message - Deprecated

[Blake Richardson]

Hi Everyone

Txt stream Easy message has been shut down permanently, not sure who else uses this as we use it as a form for communication with parents.

Does anyone have any other platforms they can suggest?

Thanks

Blake

We switched from TXTStream to SMS Central (Australia) circa 2018.

They coped well sending out bulk messages in emergency event situation; pretty much a drop-in replacement but might be an upgrade in terms of web interface (from what I remember).

Hi Blake

We did use this, but now we are using School-links - https://www.school-links.org.nz

Very similar and in pricing, also we can use a web login and send messages out that way eg emergency texts to parents if need (kinda doubled up as school app does the same, alerts parents who have the app thou, least the other just texts all), and syncs to kamar 

Cheers
