### "Great Application"

June 30, 2020

5.0

It’s been a wonderful tool to use in my line of work.

Pros

Super easy to text, call, or email from computer or mobile device. The ability to schedule the delivery of messages is a great feature. It has saved much time in reaching out to individuals one by one, plus I know the information being sent is getting to all the people. Really no complaints at all!

Cons

I wish there was a way to send links without having to type out the entire web address... maybe there is a way, but I’m not smart enough to figure it out 🙂

### "FAMWC INPUT"

June 30, 2020

4.0

I loved CallingPost until two years ago. While the updates are great they have compromised the stability of the basic functionality.

Pros

The software allows you to communicate in multiple ways simultaneously. The ability to take polls is appreciated.

Cons

The way that contacts are counted. The software freezes constantly when trying to submit a message. Contact information that crosses groups does not update,

### "Reliable Program in Getting Messages Out to Groups"

July 6, 2020

3.0

The benefit to having a CallingPost account is enhancement of group communications. Recently a family friend, husband & wife, now both deceased because of Covid-19, their daughter would send messages or text info about her father's condition, etc.. So I would read their messages & immediately send it out to my group, the Tampa Bay Posse, including the announcement of the father's passing. Thanks to CallingPost, the calls always went out immediately, sometimes after 9pm. Glad for that update in your services. My overall experience has for the most part been very positive.

Pros

I am now retired from my law practice, however, as an active civic association leader, I found CallingPost to always be available, after they removed the 9pm stopping point, allowing urgent messages to be sent at any time. I enjoy the record of results for each message sent out, indicating live answered or answer machine received call.

Cons

What I least like about this program, is that in my effort to set up a separate account for my civic association, the program kept confusing and integrating my personal account, including the 2 different pass words, so I chose to not create the association's account, cancelling it. Since my phone number is the mail number for both my personal account & the association's account....it was a horrible experience, to keep being denied the log in, which I knew to be correct. Some programmer should create a way that 1 phone number is ok to be the main number for more than 1 account.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

The person who recommended it, was very satisfied. Additionally, it was important to me that I was supporting a Georgia-based business. More specifically, I was born less than 25 miles from Augusta, GA so I was very proud of the CallingPost home base and frequently recommend it.

### "Just Being Honest"

July 9, 2020

3.0

Overall, it has been good; it has definitely minimized the risk of someone missing an important communication or announcement, which is ultimately important.

Pros

I like the affordability and the ease of use, for the most part.

Cons

I've noticed on many occassions after having to re-record more than 4 times, the time that it takes for the final recording to upload (or download) seems like forever (if at all). I have found that I've had to re-record. Additionally, the start of the message takes forever to get started and the ending of the message appears cut off the final three words.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

I was looking for something convenient, relativeley inexpensive to use as a communication tool for a small group of people; also, outside of Blackboard, I was not aware of any other services such as this.

### "Would not want to do without it"

June 30, 2020

5.0

We all feel this is definitely worth the money and I do not want to do without it again. It is perfect for sending out calls if we have to cancel a service at the last minute or if a church member has passed away suddenly. I always recommend it to anybody that I feel can use something like this. I am not really computer literate and I found this very easy to use and if I did have a problem customer service was right there to help me.

Pros

It is so nice not to have to worry about trying to reach each person member of our church. Before we purchased a calling post, we would have to divide up names for people to call and there was always somebody who got missed. I love it that everything goes out at one time so everyone knows at the same time. I am able to check to make sure everyone received it and can check the history for any call that has been made. It is super easy to add names and phone numbers manually or to upload them.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that the recording cannot start right away to give it time for anybody’s answer machine to pick up and sometimes the older members don’t understand that and they hang up before the message comes on.

### "Calling Post for Church Communications"

July 9, 2020

4.0

It took quite a while for folks to realize that they had to wait several seconds for the message to begin. The call sounds like any other courtesy call they receive and they would hang up before the message started.

Pros

The use of Calling Post replaced our previous "Prayer Chain", which was reliant upon each person responding promptly and passing the message on. It became tedious because so many folks did not follow through and the messages were not completed. With Calling Post, I can send the message out to everyone in a matter of minutes.

Cons

For quite some time, I have been getting an error message after sending and need to retry. I wait a minute and then resend. It usually goes, but sometimes gets sent twice. I have contacted "Help", but the things that they recommend checking have already been done.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Calling Post had an email option as well as phone and texting.

Pros

This enables my organization to communicate effectively with my audience, the ease of use, the ability to add people, call to reach many people at one time and I have convinced my church and others to subscribe to CallingPost

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to upload files and have to get the support of the company to assist

### "Shermans Dale SDA Church CallingPost review"

June 30, 2020

5.0

One time we were unable to use it when we really needed it because of a glitch in their system. It was on the weekend so we had to wait till Monday to call and report it. When we did call, they fixed it, apologized, and gave us a monetary credit towards our next bill! No one is perfect, and we appreciated their resolution.

Pros

Ability to contact all of our church members with one phone call.

Cons

We didn't like when it didn't work for a weekend because of a glitch in their system.!

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Our Pastor at the time told us about CallingPost. I believe they were fairly new when we started with them. I didn't know of any other options. We stick with them because of their service and we are all setup with them. They have always treated us fairly.

### "Great Product"

July 14, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

July 6, 2020

5.0

I would highly recommend calling post to anyone who is looking to keep a group of people informed.

Pros

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.

Cons

The only thing I would say is a negative is the app seems to be a little bit old and sometimes glitchy.

June 30, 2020

Other than messages for phone calls it has made contacting everyone so much easier.

Pros

That it sends out messages to everyone quickly.

Cons

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.

July 2, 2020

5.0

FANTASTIC! Additionally, I wish that the billing was simplified.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
