[sims] Anyone use InTouch yesterday to send texts to parents about snow closure?

[Kyle]

I was just wondering if anyone used InTouch to send texts to parents or staff about snow/school closure problems?

 

If so did you send the messages from the web based portal or the actual software? I am asking just to see what sort of delivery times of the texts you experienced?

I sent ours out on Friday - I VNC'd into my machine to do it through SIMS itself (I did set up the webportal but I felt it was easier to do it through the tried and trusted at 6am!).

 

Delivery times seemed fine - my phone went off after 30 seconds. However I've had 5 members of staff say they never received it, strange as they have received my test text that I send out 2 weeks ago. SIMS say everything sent successfully - has anyone had any similar issues?
