Mass Voice/Text Messaging Service
-
I used to get none at all, but some (redacted) I bought something from on Ebay must have leaked my mail address and now some Russians worry about my activities in bed and want to come to my aid, as well as some cheap criminals who claim to be lawyers who represent someone who I supposedly owe money (and never heard of before) and threaten to take legal actions. Both apparently still hope that I will eventually be dumb enough to open their attachments if they just try often enough.

I can understand that. That's why we would give the employee the option to have a text sent to them. I don't know how other people are, but texts aren't as annoying as phone calls and I do sleep through my text alerts anyway.
So do it all by email. It's free (which texts mostly aren't) and the subscriber can always set a rule to bin them unread or feed them to a particular folder.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

At a previous employer, we used Clickatell. From an infrastructure point of view, they provided pretty good service and a ~98.5% uptime. We used them for several two-factor authentication schemes.

I'd like that but we have an older workforce and I'd bet about 50 to 60 percent of them don't have email on their phone. (the manager sitting next to me has a flip phone :omg: ) Plus, I don't know how you are about your personal email, but mine gets ignored until I have time to read it. Some of these messages will be urgent as in like, don't show up for work today kind of thing.

From what I've heard, it's not just the Russians.

Yes, usually on the receiving end. So you think that spamming is the way to go when you want to make your emplyees happy? Perhaps you can make some extra money by setting up a booth where they sell torches and pitchforks.

That would be the least of all problems. If you only had an idea how I spent the holidays...

In that case, I would think that a proper phone call was important, in order to be sure the message was received.

Does anyone have any experience with systems or companies that can send mass voice or text messages? We're looking to contact selected employees with info relating to work. Ideally, I think we would set up the contacts and whether or not they want voice or text messages. The interface needs to be user friendly with a small learning curve if possible.

Lol, did that. Every single one of those websites wants all your info before you can even begin to see anything. Including your email, phone #, name of your firstborn (which screws me over as I don't have any kids...). I can only type GoEffYourself@HoserEh.com so many times for the email and I don't want to drive the person that actually has 867-5309 as their phone# too crazy. I'm hoping to get some opinions based on real world experience from people that I know are legitimate.

I'm using Twilio for a timeclock device. They have what you are looking for with lots of samples. :)

I'd second Twilio. In less than a day we had 1000's of txts going out. Saw a 600% return on investment within 7 days.

Union shop. We're contractually obligated to contact people about overtime availability and other things related to scheduling. Me personally, the experiences I've had with these has been positive. i.e. I like receiving a text when I schedule a haircut confirming the time of the appointment. Do you know of any specific companies?

Usually it is confirmed when you make the appointment. Why would you wait for a text to confirm it?

That bites. Feels.
