Joining our Notification Group
We have teamed with Text Message People (tmppl.com) to provide broadcast text message and email notifications for our Troop.
This service allows us (Scoutmasters) to communicate with you (Parents) effectively, quickly, and with minimum expense.
How will Troop 388 use this service?
While there are many possible uses, we intend to initially use this service to notify you of arrival times after our monthly outings. We will be able to give you accurate arrival time estimates so that you can pick up your Scout quickly, without wasting your day waiting.
Simply join our group from your cell phone or email account (or both), and the service will relay our messages to you, instantly.
How to join:
From your email account or cell phone, send a message to troop388@tmppl.com with the text ADME in the body.
Your email account or cell phone will be added to our group. Note that you will not receive a confirmation message (to minimize your text messaging usage).
If your cell phone cannot text to an email address, contact ASM Bettini with your cell phone number and carrier (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) and he will add you.
What happens when you join?
When we send a message to the group, you will receive the message on the cell phone or email address you joined with. If you joined with both your cell phone and email address, then you will receive the message at both locations.
We will only use this service for sending important messages that need timely delivery.
Questions?
If you have any questions, please contact ASM Bettini, and he will be happy to assist you.
