The need to communicate is as important as the need to survive; in fact, we dare say that to live is to communicate. Over the\u00a0millennia, our ability to communicate has gotten more efficient and effective that at the slight touch of a button, we’re communicating with others everywhere on the surface of the planet.\u00a0We built Trombone along the lines of effective communication.<\/p>\n
So what exactly is Trombone?\u00a0Trombone is a group texting platform that enables large groups to communicate with each other using text messages in an efficient and cost-effective way. So whether you’re a religious organization, NGO, company or even a class of students, with Trombone, you can reach out to all of your members or friends without any other device besides your mobile phone.<\/p>\n
Groups are organized into what we call channels on Trombone. So you can create channels, get your friends or members to subscribe to these channels and then you can start communicating. Each time a friend or member sends a text message to the channel, everyone on that channel gets an SMS with that message . Think about email discussion groups but using SMS.<\/p>\n
For instance, a\u00a0corporate organization that would like to send out important news on-the-go to their staff members can create a channel on Trombone and have their staff members subscribe to the channel. Staff members would then receive updates every time a message is sent to that channel.<\/p>\n
Here’s our best kept secret – it works with any kind of mobile phone. As long as you’ve got service on your phone, you can use it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To create a channel, send:\u00a0<\/span>create #channelname<\/strong>\u00a0(where channelname is the name of the channel you intend to create) to <\/span>+447797880420<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, to create the channel, mychannel, simply send:\u00a0create #mychannel<\/strong>\u00a0to +447797880420<\/strong>. If a group with the same name exists, you will get a text message telling you so.<\/p>\n\n\n
