SMS for Edtech platforms

Texting is transforming education by facilitating conversations between teachers and parents, sharing urgent alerts, promoting positive psychology, and encouraging academic engagement. Ed tech companies need to be aware of the nuances, challenges, and perks that come from application-to-person (A2P) texting as an educational entity. DeansList, ParentSquare, SchoolPulse, and SendHub are examples of platforms that leverage A2P texting for various purposes in education. When choosing number types for educational texting, short codes, toll-free numbers, and 10DLC numbers each have their own advantages and limitations based on the use case.
