It is the morning of school Sports Day but the pitches are soaked from the previous night's rain and the sky is overcast. You decide to delay all events for two hours and need to inform parents...

Simply send a text message to all parents expecting to attend Sports Day informing them of the change to the day's schedule.

Sports Day will go ahead today at the later time of 1:30pm - the weather forecast is better for the afternoon and we intend to run a full programme of events."

Parents receive your message quickly and efficiently and can amend their plans for the day.

Your school name appears in the 'From:' section of the message, reassuring parents that this is an official school message.

You are also able to access text delivery information which shows who has received your message and when. You can then easily identify those parents who have not received your message by a certain time and contact them by alternative means.
