Hi Seth. As numbers opt in to your keyword from their cell phone, they will be stored in your Call-Em-All contacts. Therefore, you can absolutely send text messages to your group through an authorized phone number. You can also send them voice and text broadcasts from your smartphone on our mobile site: m.call-em-all.com. If you have more questions, feel free to call or email us!

Can you send texts like this to Groups that are integrated via CCB's API?

Just downloaded the App. And am really satisfied with the portability of this tool. As a busy Pastor, this will help me minister to the flock while I am on the road. Thanks

I wouldn't say it isn't an app, because it is. Did we create a native iOS or Android app, no. But there were a lot of reasons why we didn't and we address many of them in our post explaining our decision at http://blog.call-em-all.com....

But the reality is you can take advantage of iOS and Android's ability to turn it into an App (there are additional benefits that we are able to tap into on the devices by doing this) by saving it to your home screen.

We totally understand your thought on thinking it is "just a website", but to be honest, there is a lot of great technology behind what we've just released. We hope you benefit from the mobile app and it makes using Call-Em-All on your smartphone a much better experience.

So, it's actually not really an app -- "just" a website specifically designed for mobile access (hence m.call-em-all.com etc.) ... Right?

Re: Announcing Church Management Software Integrations

Seth McGuinness — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 22:06:42 -0000

We couldn't be more excited to launch these integrations, so I'm glad you are loving it. The reason we didn't separate, or allow the choice to separate, is we have found that our customers want to send the message to every number they have so to ensure the message gets received. If you've got a specific use case where we should be, please shoot us an email and let us know. Since this is a new feature we know we can always learn and improve as we hear from our users.

With regard to your question about the credits, if you aren't already, I'd suggest the Monthly plan. It is by far the most popular plan for our church users. It allows you to call the numbers in your congregation as many as you need during the month, without the need to worry about your credit level.

Love it! Really enjoying it with Fellowship One. My only complaint is that when I pull a list from F1 it includes the individuals mobile and land number, costing twice the credits. Any solutions on this?

Re: TCPA Changes Go Live

Brad Herrmann — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:06:55 -0000

Hi Spencer,
I wouldn't consider your example informational, because the purpose of the call is to solicit financial donations from the recipient. That said, it likely wouldn't matter because the TCPA has specific exemptions for non-profit, tax-exempt organizations. Even with the exemptions, I would discourage you from making these calls just because of the hassle and expense that a lawsuit could bring you. If nothing else, I would recommend that you to put TCPA-compliant opt-out mechanism at the beginning of the call - just to be safe.

Here's a link that shows the non-profit exemption - http://thedma.org/wp-conten...

Sorry for the delay in responding. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call, email, or reply.

Brad,
I'm curious as to how calls from organizations reminding followers to donate on a specific time/date would be categorized under TCPA. It seems like it should be mostly considered an informational call, but since there is $$ involved, I wonder if they could consider it telemarketing.

Kelly, just wanted to point this out in case you missed it. We just launched forwarding text replies to verified cell number. http://blog.call-em-all.com...

Sure makes my job as Lodge Secretary a lot easier. One call vs. 100 plus mail out notices..... John in DuBois, PA

Are you referring to text replies? If so, your question prompted some discussion with our engineering team. I can't promise a time frame, but we may have something to announce coming up regarding this.

Also, our mobile site will be upcoming soon and will have text reply views in a more friendly way. Thank you for your patience.

Seth McGuinness — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:23:08 -0000

I see what you are saying and I've noted it as an enhancement.

While we don't have a direct way, we do have a way to upload a list to opt out contacts. You could then filter your contacts by those who have opted out and then simply delete them.

To do this, after logging in, click on Reports and then select Opt Out Report on the left menu. In the bottom left corner click on Upload File. From there, it is just like uploading a list to import into your contacts.

Give us a call and we'll be happy to walk you through it if you'd like.
