This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

From what I've heard, it's not just the Russians.
Got me curious now too.
Not over the TMI threshold though...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Google search doesn't provide real world experience with at product. You could buy a car with a google search, but I bet you would prefer to talk to someone you trust about their experience with the vehicle you're looking at.

Well, have you found anyone with real world experience, here at the lounge on mass text bombing? And if so, did that experience help you make mission critical, command decisions on this topic? Just curious is all...

Usually it is confirmed when you make the appointment. Why would you wait for a text to confirm it?

I have a huge distrust of people doing things right (including me). The text message shows that they've entered everything in correctly, plus I get the appointment reminder the day before via text too. Being absentminded as I am, this is a godsend for me.

Most smartphones have some form of calender with reminders. Not really a reason to share data with a salesman.

I trust the pretty lady who cuts my hair  How do you know they entered it into their calendar correctly? Have you ever shown up for an appointment and there was a mix up?

I don't care. If they make a mistake once, they lose a customer. Not my problem.

I prefer not to waste my time. Get it right the first time. There's been times I've screwed it up, so it's a good check and balance. But if they still screw it up...

Because people forget.
When I was working for Ocuco Ltd. one of the most requested modules was Recall, because opticians could remind patients of the appointments.
It happens all the bloody time.

But I'll bet you'd be right p1ssed off if the Christmas party went by without your knowing about it.

The word "service" implies something useful that people want...
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Isn't that a matter of perspective? Who wants this service? The sender or the receivers?

I'm with CDP on this. Try an experiment. Record a message on your phone, call 100 employees, and play it back to them. Keep a record of how many listen to the whole thing, compared to slam the phone down, swear at you, or physically try to kill you.
Then using that data, put your feet up for a few months and relax then tell you boss it's done. Since noone in their right mind will sign up for it, you shouldn't get found out...

I can understand that. That's why we would give the employee the option to have a text sent to them. I don't know how other people are, but texts aren't as annoying as phone calls and I do sleep through my text alerts anyway.

So do it all by email. It's free (which texts mostly aren't) and the subscriber can always set a rule to bin them unread or feed them to a particular folder.
