Sent a test text to the group today and it worked just fine.  Thanks for setting this up for us, Dave.

Thanks. We just need 50-100 more people to participate and for everyone to add the number to their contacts.

This system allows you to reach out instantly from a stupid phone.

In remote areas a text may go through after voice reception has fallen off.

And as long as we never publish the email address and remain discreet with the number we can't really get hacked.

But a network of six people probably won't be very effective.

It's a win-win, and it's active, so the information is delivered where it's needed when it's needed.

When I was running HighSchoolSports.net, we would deliver millions of text messages for game cancellations when weather would sweep through the midwest.

Thanks for putting this together.

Guess I missed part of this.


It sounds interesting.

What/when is it to be used?

It may just be a solution looking for a problem-

This system allows instant communication from an individual on the side of the road to a group of people who CHOOSE to be included.

It sends a message from any phone that can send text out to another phone, or an email.

Sometimes cell reception falls off in remote locations but you can still send text.

How it ultimately gets used is up to the group.

Becasue it's human edited (by me at the moment) It is pretty secure from hackery.

IF you are interested in participating, email me with preferences (email or text message)

Include your cell number and the carrier. I need the carrier info to convert email to text

For now it's done through a free google phone number, converted to gmail, forwarded to a mailbox i control, and then converted to a bang list.

I'm sure better execution tools are out there.
