Frequently Asked Questions
Does SMS messaging cost extra?
SMS delivery is included in leaguearc's paid plans with a monthly message allowance. Usage beyond the included allowance is billed at standard Twilio rates, which are typically less than one cent per message.
Can recipients opt out of text messages?
Yes. Recipients can reply STOP to any message to opt out, and leaguearc automatically respects the preference. Administrators can see opt-out status in the contact directory.
What phone numbers can receive SMS notifications?
SMS delivery works for US and Canadian mobile phone numbers. International SMS is available but may be subject to additional carrier fees depending on the destination.
Can I send custom messages in addition to automatic reminders?
Yes. League administrators can compose and send custom text messages to individual teams, divisions, or the entire league from the leaguearc messaging center.
