Keep all contact details on ShoutOUT and use them to send personalized text messages by including parent's name, student ID, etc. in the message content.
Send texts to multiple contact groups in one campaign
Select multiple segments (that you created, such as Parents, Students, Grade 10 Students, Maths Class 9 etc.) in one campaign.
