Got me curious now too. Not over the TMI threshold though...

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.
I don't know about voice, and I'm quite ignorant in this field, but apart from a local SMS service, the other one that bursts into mind is Azure's SendGrid.

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.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.The word "service" implies something useful that people want...
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Isn't that a matter of perspective? Who wants this service? The sender or the receivers?

Neither do I. Quick Google search (hint, hint) found this: Voice Broadcasting, Text Alerts & Mass Notification Made Easy - DialMyCalls.com[^] Looks like they do text messages too.

Yes, we use [SalesForce](http://pages.exacttarget.com/etsmshelp/) a lot, being a marketing agency.

I like receiving a text when I schedule a haircut confirming the time of the appointment
Usually it is confirmed when you make the appointment. Why would you wait for a text to confirm it?

I have a huge distrust of people doing things right (including me). The text message shows that they've entered everything in correctly, plus I get the appointment reminder the day before via text too. Being absentminded as I am, this is a godsend for me.

If text messaging only is an option, just use twitter. This is one vendor in the field. I have no direct experience with them. https://ecnetwork.com/employee-notification/

I trust the pretty lady who cuts my hair ;) How do you know they entered it into their calendar correctly? Have you ever shown up for an appointment and there was a mix up?

I don't care. If they make a mistake once, they lose a customer. Not my problem.

I prefer not to waste my time. Get it right the first time. There's been times I've screwed it up, so it's a good check and balance. But if they still screw it up...
