Six simple steps
From your directory to one clear conversation
Choose the right people
Open Everyone, choose a saved group, or select individual members for this message.
Write it once
Type or paste a message, import readable text from a PDF or text document, or paste a copied QR-code link.
Choose whether you need answers
Turn on Collect Availability only when you need Available, Maybe, or Unavailable responses.
Send to everyone
Eligible members receive SMS. Crew Call then prepares a phone message for anyone who needs the iPhone Messages app.
Follow one clear conversation
Open Messages to see delivery status and keep each person’s sent messages and replies together.
What happens when you send
One action, the right delivery path
Tap Send to Everyone Automatically once. Crew Call separates the selected people safely and tells you what happens next.
- SMSEligible hosted members who consented to SMS receive an individual text automatically.
- Phone messagesOther contacts are prepared in your iPhone Messages app, where you review and confirm the send.
- Long messagesImport readable PDF or text content. Longer SMS messages use a secure full-message link.
- Organized repliesDelivery updates and each person’s direct replies stay together in the Message Center instead of creating scattered cards.
CrewCall Plus includes 200 outgoing SMS recipient deliveries each month.A message to 10 people uses 10 deliveries. Incoming replies do not use the allowance; an outgoing direct reply uses one.
