Send an announcement by email and text at the same time, to the whole league or a single team.

Two-way texting
Replies land in a shared text inbox, so any admin can answer from LeagueArc.

Questions
Does texting cost extra?
Twilio bills texts to your own Twilio account at its standard rates. LeagueArc does not add a per-message fee.
Can people opt out of texts?
Yes. Replying STOP opts a number out, and LeagueArc blocks further texts to it. Replying START opts it back in.
Which phone numbers can receive texts?
Any number your Twilio account can reach. Check Twilio's country coverage and sender registration rules for your number.
Can I send a one-off text?
Yes. Add texting to any announcement and choose who receives it, or reply to someone directly from the text inbox. The shared inbox needs a Twilio Messaging Service.
