In less than six weeks, on June 17th, AT&T will Say Goodbye to email-to-text and text-to-email. In other words, your church-goers who use AT&T will no longer be able to receive texts you send through our free texting option.
When we first developed texting in Churchteams, it was done exclusively by leveraging this service which was offered by all major US telecommunication companies. This allowed us to offer free texting for many years. However, in 2020 and 2021, all the major telecoms launched their 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) services, the first step in a shift away from free texting.
