Do I need to register before sending emergency text alerts?

Yes, and we highly recommend registering your text number before an emergency happens. Due to carrier requirements, all organizations must register their number before sending mass SMS messages. With Text-Em-All, most registrations are completed within 1–2 business days, and we’ll guide you through every step. Registering ahead of time ensures your emergency text alerts are delivered quickly and reliably when you need them most.

What types of emergencies can I send alerts about?

You can send SMS emergency alerts for anything time-sensitive: severe weather, natural disasters, building evacuations, utility outages, security threats, transportation delays, or last-minute schedule changes. If it’s urgent, texting is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reach people.

Can I send emergency calls as well as texts?

Yes! Text-Em-All supports both emergency voice calls and text messages in a single broadcast. This is especially useful for reaching landlines or recipients who might not check their phones right away. You can even choose to send a call if someone doesn’t receive or read your text.

Can I schedule or repeat emergency alerts?

Yes, you can schedule messages in advance or quickly duplicate and repeat a previous alert. This is helpful during events like multi-day storms, power outages, or evolving situations where you need to send updates over time. Our platform keeps everything easy to manage and repeat when needed.

How do I track the delivery of my messages?

You can track the delivery of your messages in real time by logging into your Text-Em-All account. We provide information on whether the message was successfully delivered and, if not, the reason for the failure (e.g., invalid number, network error, etc.). This helps you identify and resolve any issues and ensures your messages are reaching all intended recipients.

Text-Em-All is the best thing we've ever implemented. I was able to integrate Text-Em-All into my retail app to send recorded voice messages to customers, saving staff hours of time. I've had nothing but good experiences with Text-Em-All. Their API instructions are clear and make it easy to set up the features I use.

The website is extremely user-friendly and a "breeze" to use. Overall, I use this service to quickly and easily communicate with my workforce. Employees today want communication that is 1) fast, 2) easy, and 3) speaking their language. Text-Em-All has this and more!

This service has made communication with employees MUCH easier! It shows when texts have been delivered, and it keeps a record of all sent and received messages, which is great as well. Overall we are very glad we learned of Text-Em-All and are utilizing their services.
