Very positive! I'm very pleased.
I love that it is very easy to use. I can either record a message or type in my message use a computerized voice to deliver it. I don't have to call everyone myself. I also like that emailing or text messaging is an option.
There may be and I've just missed it, but I wish I could upload all my contacts info and then create groups picking from those.

I have had ZERO problems with the software. Its ease of use and cost effectiveness will keep me as a customer and consumer.
The ease of getting a message recorded and sent is great. In a matter of a few minutes I am sending out a phone message to my entire congregation. CallingPost has given me the confidence in knowing that EVERYONE gets the exact same message in a timely manner. It has been a time saver and headache relief for me since the day I sent the 1st message.
Thsi may have been resolved by now - but if not - the ability to put together a call on a mobile-device was cumbersome. I didn't like fact that I could not choose the "caller ID" number when setting up a sending a message from my smartphone.

post for our supplier for deliveries
Ease of use for the end user posting the message
the way you have to add members, you should be able to add a member then select the group or groups you would like them in, instead of having to go to groups and then add the member.

Overall, it's been decent. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I sometimes need to send messages after 9pm. The system has a recording that states messages will be sent between 9am and 9pm. If that restriction has been waived or lifted, the recording should be updated to reflect that.
The option to show your own phone number or utilize the system's number.
When you're paying for a higher tier, you should have the option to have a recording that's longer than 2 minutes.

The product is very easy to use. The text and email features allow me as the pastor to communicate at one time to all devices. During this pandemic Calling Post has saved me time in reaching members on a weekly basis.
I have been a long time user of callingpost and over the years the company has made many changes that were effective and more efficient for the administrator. I can not find any Cons.

We use CallingPost primarily for announcements about deaths in the congregation and a once-a-year event that requires very last-minute notifications to volunteers. It is easy to use for both the staff person who is the CallingPost administrator (myself) and other staff that may need to use it to send a call once.
CallingPost is very easy to use for sending calls or texts to a group of people.
CallingPost does not easily integrate with our CRM, so I have to manually remove or add people to the list.

Great!
It's easy to record a weekly encouraging message to send to the church community, we have also used it to send urgent or emergency messages.
We've been a customer for a long time, so recent updates and upgrades have not given us the benefit of having put money in monthly for a long time.

I have been able to reduce the amount of paper we were using for newsletters and notices for parents. I can track who has not opened emails and follow up as necessary. Since our building has been closed due to COVID-19, the email function is the main tool we use for communicating with parents and staff. It has been a lifesaver.
I use CallingPost mainly for texting and emailing the staff and parents of the students at my dance school. I selected this product because of the ease of creating emails and the Results for each function.
I delayed completing a review because one of the Results features I count on the most was down for several weeks due to a system update. Everything is now operational and we are able to obtain the contact information we need for managing our school.

The ability to type my message into the website and have it translated to a recording
The recording does not space in between sentences like a person talking. Sentences run together and are sometimes hard to understand the recording voice. I would suggest making the recording sound more human like than a computer talking. Add punctuation commands to the recordings. The message ID should offer the next available message number so I don't have to search what my last message was before I pick a new message number.

It's been a great tool for my church, just need more time?
Calling post is a great tool to get your message out to several people especially in a church congregation all at one time, so it really helps
I don't like the fact that it do not give me longer time to record my messages at least 3-5 minute I may not user that much time but I don't even have that option?

This service allows me to contact all members of the parish and to play back a recording for my own records.
Ease of use. I use this product for sending messages to parishioners and to parish organizations. During COVID-19, I have used this product for sending weekly sermon shorts.
Other than the shortness of recording time, I can't think of any 'cons.'

Mixed, easy to set up and use but it is becoming increasingly glitchy and I find the app is not very useful.
Ease of setup and use, intuitive and some very basic features make it easy to get going.
I've mostly used the site based system from a browser on my desktop and I've found it very glitchy lately. Over the past few months I've found that when I go to create and send messages I just get a message that the systems was unable to send, no reason or error why. So, after several manual attempts it eventually sends but I come to find that my email that I spent time formatting gets completely blown out and I have to do it all over again. I did not contact customer service with the issue, most of the time I send this out late in the early evening and they are not available, and when they are it takes too much time to sort out then just making additional attempts.

I would highly recommend calling post to anyone who is looking to keep a group of people informed.
The best part of calling post is their customer service. If I ever have an issue, I simply place the call to the friendly staff and they take excellent care of me, solving any and all issues.
The only thing I would say is a negative is the app seems to be a little bit old and sometimes glitchy.

Overall the experience has been good.
Allows us to easily communicate with our homeowners.
Sometimes it does not work like it should, but in the end we can get help from customer service.

I have been able to reach our church members with important message which is critical.
It is easy to use and saves time from calling each member individually.
Several times recently the messages fail to send and I had to go through the process of trying to do so again.

By using the software we were able to contact multiple individuals with one call.
What I like about this software was The ability to schedule calls . I also appreciate the ability to store past messages and reuse when necessary
Some of the plans were misleading. My organization had to upgrade for everything. We increase our listing to five more people and the price doubled.

Other than messages for phone calls it has made contacting everyone so much easier.
That it sends out messages to everyone quickly.
Creating messages for phone calls is aggravating. It use to be easier and similar to text messages. Now you have to got to messages and create it and then choose to send it after finding it on the list of messages. Not user friendly.

I like the option to do a voice recording or use text to voice.
It feels clunky and doesn't function well for us. We have sent messages, paid credits only to find the message was lost somewhere in cyberspace and never delivered.

FANTASTIC! Additionally, I wish that the billing was simplified.
The fact that I can schedule announcements to go out at any time to multiple groups. It is very easy and smooth to record a message.
I wish that there was a way to show who did not receive the call or simplify how customers would like for the message to go out to receivers. For example, allow customers the option to choose how many attempts should be made to a caller.

My experience has been good but don’t use it frequently.
The software is like having another employee, I can reach out to a group of potential clients in less than 5 minutes and I receive notice when correspondence is complete. The software doesn’t require a unique password. My assistant and I can both use it with ease.
The software frequently crashes. I don’t have time to resend messages, it needs To work the first time.

One of the most liked features is being able to schedule messages to be delivered at a specified date and time in the future.
There is a slight delay between when a call recipient answers the phone and the start of the message. And the other least liked feature is just the amount of time it takes to set-up groups.
