How are you using text service? It's used for internal messages to pass on details of job vacancies to our staff, we have 500 staff and to remind them of occupational health appointments.

Do you use a template or create your own message? Create our own message, allowed up to 160 characters which is sufficient for information we need to send. Our messages include details on job vacancies within the council. The system is very easy to use and to type up a message.

Where and how do you get the mobile no? We have a standard letter which is given to all staff and now any new staff to complete with details including mobile numbers for this purpose. The system is very easy to add contacts, very quick and most efficient way of passing on messages.

Adding contacts? Very easy and quick no problems at all.

Report section The report section is most useful, lets you know when the message has been sent and no one can say they have not received a message.

Online Solutions, how helpful or what support? Most helpful and it's great you can contact Roy at any time. Any problems or queries were dealt with immediately. When ordering text messages it's just a matter of ringing Roy and it's done in less than 20 minutes.
