Over the past 4 and a half years, our simple Pay As You Go pricing plans have been wildly successful. In fact, we haven’t changed our prices since the day we opened for business. That success now gives us the opportunity to LOWER our prices for our smaller customers. We think this is a great way to ease the financial burden on many small volunteer and non-profit organizations, while also encouraging use of our new text messaging service. We couldn’t do this without YOU, our customer. Thank you. We hope this helps you have a great start to 2010.

Check out the table below for the new prices on our 100, 250, and 500 credit plans.

On behalf of the Call-Em-All team, we want to thank you!

We are excited to announce the release of our new SMS text messaging feature!   With the ability to send voice and text, we are confident Call-Em-All will be your go-to group communication tool.  You can now send a text message to all of your contacts online or directly from your phone.  The price for text is the same as voice!  You will now be able to use message credits for both voice and text.  With the unlimited calling plans you will now be able to purchase message credits to use for text (look for monthly text plans in the future). The following are some of the highlights of our new text messaging service:

  Create your own custom "join" keywords
  Opt-in via our SMS short code - 292929
  Send a text broadcast online or directly from your phone
  View/Manage your text broadcast replies w/ "inbox" feature

Below is an email from one of customers. It is very rewarding to hear such a glowing testimonial!

"Hi Pat

Thanks so much!!

This company is amazing - and i saw it from the start. The website is simple & easy to use. you guys thought of all the things that a customer might need, and you put it into the program... In general it looks like a modern, well-run business, where customer service is the priority. The results that you will get from that is immense, as evident in the fact that i mentioned your  company to at least 3 of my friends, and expressed to them the ease that i enjoy so much.

So to be honest, i had expected that you would help me!! That is what a company does when customer service is their priority. You have treated me well, and have earned yourselves a loyal customer.

Have a wonderful evening, and continue wowing your clients."

Call-Em-All has always strived to create an automated calling service that is simple, easy to use, and affordably priced. We've now released a completely redesigned List Management tool for our clients to organize their contacts and calling lists. We also now allow users to upload their own audio files as an alternative to recording their message on our 800 number. I couldn't be more proud of our team. They have utilized the latest technologies to create a tool that is years ahead of anything else available. It is fast, intuitive and incredibly easy to use!

Here are some highlights:

- Intuitive design
- Incredibly fast Search Box for finding names and/or numbers
- Drag and drop functionality
- Edit group names and delete groups
- Trash folder to help correct mistakes
- Status notices at top of page, to confirm actions taken and in progress
- Easier editing of contacts
- Create groups on the fly and easily add contacts to multiple groups

I hope you like the changes. We plan on making even more improvements to our website in the coming months - all with the goal of making our service even simpler and easier. Of course, we'll keep the same low prices that our clients expect.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, or feedback - please let us know. We'll do everything we can to make our service the best it can be. Thanks for using Call-Em-All!

Sincerely,
Brad Herrmann

It’s not unusual here at Call-Em-All to see one of our customers submit a testimonial. We see them quite often and generally people are raving how our automated phone tree helped them reach members of their church, or notify their sports teams, school closing announcements and even assist small business owners in their marketing efforts. Whether it’s a birth announcement, funeral, wedding engagement or family reunion, we frequently hear that Call-Em-All helped them in their personal lives. Below a customer shares a touching story and how Call-Em-All helped. 

“I am such a fan of Call-Em-All. I received my first call in 2006 when a friend had a baby. When her husband was able to make one phone call to everyone, I thought-wow, that is cool and asked my friend about it. She told me about the website and I bought 100 units just to try it. At the time, I was going to doctors visits with another friend of mine that had been diagnosed with breast cancer and I created a preliminary list of mutual friends that would want updates on her journey. Then, just a few months later, I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer myself at age 33. I have no family history and had no pain or symptoms, so it came as a complete shock and surprise. I wanted to tell my friends and family about it but it took such an emotional toll to keep repeating the story over and over. I immediately thought of Call-Em-All. I made one phone call and everyone I cared about was told about the diagnosis. What a huge relief to be able to let many people know from one conversation!

I started chemotherapy and my support group grew. Then the breast cancer metastasized to my brain and I had two brain tumors pop up, which was very scary. The doctors were able to perform an OUT PATIENT brain radiation procedure that was 100% successful. Making that call to my list was awesome. I got to let everyone know the procedure was minimal and a huge success in one phone call. I cannot express how much Call-Em-All has meant to me in the cancer journey. I’m happy to report that I have been doing chemotherapy for two years now and the cancer is shrinking everywhere. I am a walking miracle and I can’t wait to call my broadcast list on my 2^nd “Cancer”-Versary (as I call it) to let them know how well the treatment is working and how much I appreciate their love and support. I would not be doing so well through treatment if my friends and family weren’t supporting me. This way I can make sure no one is missed when I make that call of gratitude. Thank you Call-Em-All!”

We hope your 2009 is off to a great start!

Yesterday, we released a small modification that should help make using our message broadcasting service a little easier.  When our website instructs you to call our 800 number to record your message, the Message Recording ID that you enter is now only 6 digits long.  Yes, it's a small change - but our goal is to make everything about Call-Em-All as easy as possible.  Sometimes, that means little things like pressing fewer buttons on the telephone.  Enjoy!

Following on yesterday's post about pending balances is a relatively new feature within Call-Em-All - the ability to restrict the length of your messages.  This feature can be found by clicking "My Account" then "Broadcast Preferences".  When set, our 866 number will automatically stop recording if you go over the set limit.  There are two reasons why you would want to do this:

1) Recording a message over 30 seconds causes you to use additional call units.  This is particularly handy if you are having a celebrity or someone unfamiliar with Call-Em-All record your message, or if you have more than one user on your account. 

2) If you are setting up several broadcasts at the same time, but want to record the messages later - this will keep your pending balance from becoming too large.
