Calling Post has been an ESSENTIAL tool during this health crisis.

PROS

I have used Calling Post for over 15 years. It has always been a tool that I used to communicate with the senior residents who live in our community. However, during the COVID-19 crisis it has been an invaluable asset in maintaining a line of communication on an almost daily basis with my folks. The unlimited plan is a marvelous value and I certainly get my money's worth! It is very easy to use, they can hear MY voice not a recorded voice, and I can rest assured that they all receive the message.

CONS

I am very pleased with all aspects of the service.

Calling Post for Church Communications

It took quite a while for folks to realize that they had to wait several seconds for the message to begin. The call sounds like any other courtesy call they receive and they would hang up before the message started.

PROS

The use of Calling Post replaced our previous "Prayer Chain", which was reliant upon each person responding promptly and passing the message on. It became tedious because so many folks did not follow through and the messages were not completed. With Calling Post, I can send the message out to everyone in a matter of minutes.

CONS

For quite some time, I have been getting an error message after sending and need to retry. I wait a minute and then resend. It usually goes, but sometimes gets sent twice. I have contacted "Help", but the things that they recommend checking have already been done.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Calling Post had an email option as well as phone and texting.

Some Critiques

Generally positive, with the exception noted above.

PROS

The program is generally fairly simple to use and adequate for the reasonably simple reminders we send out to our congregation in the form of texts, emails and calls. Customer service is also quite good.

CONS

I find sending out my weekly blog is often problematic in terms of a balky format that often is not user friendly when corrections need to be made . Also, copying pre-typed text from Word is often problematic in terms of retaining the original formatting.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Because of our existing use of CP and desire not to have to spend considerable time with set up requirements, and because CP was meeting our basic needs.

Ambassadors for Christ

While I was able to access my list, the experience was great. I don't know what to do now. I am trying to find a site comparable to Calling Post.

PROS

I like the fact that I was able to contact the church members with one call and everyone received the same message. It is great for making announcements to those who are unable to attend services at the church and it is a great way to keep in touch with our members.

CONS

I was disappointed when I saw the format had changed and the membership list wasn't available. I had painstakingly entered every phone number, email address and other information. When I tried to send out a post after you changed the site, I couldn't access my list!

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Calling Post was recommended to me and when I tried it, it worked for me.

Excellent Platform for Keeping Employees Up to Date

We needed a great way to communicate with all of our employees about situational changes due to COVID. We had used CallingPost every now and then before, but we have really benefitted from having it during this time.

PROS

I love that I can text all of some of my employees at the same time without having to break it down into segments. Keeping our employees notified of COVID related information has been so beneficial to us!

CONS

Sometimes the message won't send, and it gives you an error message of "Oops, something went wrong." You almost have to back out of the entire thing and get back in to get it to send. Thank goodness it does save the message.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Ease of use. Simplicity in steps to create a message.

I Love Calling Post

PROS

I absolutely love Calling Post. The service is amazing in that you can reach many people with one phone call! If ever there's a problem or a concern, the customer service is fantastic! You can actually call in and speak to someone or email them, confident that someone will respond quickly.

CONS

It's good as is! I don't have any complaints at all.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Because when I first signed up to use Calling Post it was 1998 and it was the only product I knew about at the time. I've loved it so much, I wouldn't dare leave!

voice mail calling post

Calling post has helped me keep my group informed of the many changes and activities that affect our organization. The messages come in clear and a voice message is left on the line if the member misses the call.

PROS

I am able to send a message to a large group using the phone and able to edit the message before sending it out. I am also able to make changes easily to the list of phone numbers.

CONS

It took a while to get the phone numbers transferred to calling post from the previous package I was using .

Reason for choosing CallingPost

Calling post was less expensive.

Great App to get the word out

Great experience. I only had to call for help once or twice and it was more educational than functional issues.

PROS

CallingPost is easy to set up and use. I can record messages now and send them out later or repeatedly as needed. I use it to inform our church about upcoming events and changes to our schedule.

CONS

None, it works better than expected. I love it.

Reason for choosing CallingPost

It came recommended to me by another church member who had used it in the past. Once I saw the features it was a slam dunk decision.

Calling Post saves time.

I'm saving time and everyone is getting the same information at the same time, so noone feels slighted, snubbed or uninformed.

PROS

This product is easy to use and saves time. Once the names and information are programmed, I can just spend 10 minutes to get a message out. I usually record the message and schedule it to go out the following morning. My members are appreciative because they stay informed and up-to-date and they feel like their Pastor is operating in the 21st Century.

CONS

The fact that I can call, send to voicemail, email or text is a plus. Usually I send the message out in multiple formats. That way I ensure that my members get it. The only negative is that sometimes messages seem to overlap, like a text message alert will come in while I'm listening to the actual call. However, that little glitch in the system is easy to ignore. And on one occasion I scheduled a message and the program give an error message, so I reprogrammed the message and then both messages went out.

PROS

Calling post is a great tool to get your message out to several people especially in a church congregation all at one time, so it really helps

CONS

I don't like the fact that it do not give me longer time to record my messages at least 3-5 minute I may not user that much time but I don't even have that option?

This service allows me to contact all members of the parish and to play back a recording for my own records.

PROS

Ease of use. I use this product for sending messages to parishioners and to parish organizations. During COVID-19, I have used this product for sending weekly sermon shorts.

CONS

Other than the shortness of recording time, I can't think of any 'cons.'

My review

Mixed, easy to set up and use but it is becoming increasingly glitchy and I find the app is not very useful.

PROS

Ease of setup and use, intuitive and some very basic features make it easy to get going.

CONS

I've mostly used the site based system from a browser on my desktop and I've found it very glitchy lately. Over the past few months I've found that when I go to create and send messages I just get a message that the systems was unable to send, no reason or error why. So, after several manual attempts it eventually sends but I come to find that my email that I spent time formatting gets completely blown out and I have to do it all over again. I did not contact customer service with the issue, most of the time I send this out late in the early evening and they are not available, and when they are it takes too much time to sort out then just making additional attempts.

Easy to communicate with our church!

I would highly recommend calling post to anyone who is looking to keep a group of people informed.

PROS

The best part of calling post is their customer service. If I ever have an issue, I simply place the call to the friendly staff and they take excellent care of me, solving any and all issues.

CONS

The only thing I would say is a negative is the app seems to be a little bit old and sometimes glitchy.

Reasons for switching to CallingPost

The ease of use and calling post was recommended by a friend.

Other than messages for phone calls it has made contacting everyone so much easier.
