Text Message In (TMI)
- Chris Hayes
To use Text Message In you will need to contact our Sales team on 0333 3131415 option 2 or email sales@the-contactgroup.com. Once you have done this, Text Message In can be accessed via the Text Message In tab in Call Parents.
Text Message In allows an organisation to purchase a dedicated number that they can then give to parents to use to send messages directly to the school e.g. regarding their child's absence.
