Text Y’All – A Better Group Text System
We assign a telephone number to you that is programmed into your work team cell phones with the name TextY'All.
When you send a text to this number, it is relayed to your team.
You manage the list of cell phone numbers from a web site. From this list, you flag who is a manager and who is not.
- Only managers can text to the entire group.
- Staff can only text to managers!
- Everyone can receive texts.
Conference feature
- Call. You are instantly in an audio conference. All others are texted to join you.
- Text. The text is broadcast to all.
What does TextY'all do better?
Audio Conference
- Does not require a PIN number. Your Caller ID is the security code.
- You can make it a speed dial on your cell phone. One touch, your in.
Group Texting
- The group list is centrally managed
- The text comes from your dedicated number so you can set a priority alert on it. (Only this beeps you at 4am)
- It’s secure. You won’t accidently text to it nor will an old employee get the text.
