We use Bromcom e-contact which I understand you can get as a separate item if you dont want the whole package. We use it to send messages per period not just AM/PM and can also send messages saying that the student has returned the following period. We have also used its manual system which allows us to send any message to parents ie reminder about parents evening or school closed due to broken boiler etc.

We have used Bromcom for about 5 years with no problems. I especailly like their Winfolder system which allows teachers to do the register using their laptop or PC on the school network system - no wireless system required. You can also add the students behaviour and access messages for the teacher or the student, as well as viewing historical information. When needed their helpdesk support is much better than capita can provide.
