Bulk SMS for schools and coaching centres, from one place
In ClassTablet an institution admin texts chosen people or a whole classroom and its parents, buys credits on SSLCommerz with bKash, Nagad or a card, and sees every SMS's status in one list. Teachers send exam result SMS from the gradebook. Parents without a smartphone still get every SMS.
Sending SMS, buying credits and checking what happened afterwards each have their own page below. Every SMS is sent by an admin; we don't claim automatic SMS sending.
Features in this area
- How many SMS credits are left
The SMS credit balance shows on the dashboard and again while a message is being written, and it visibly stands out once the balance runs low.
- Choosing recipients: people or whole classes
Search people by part of a name or phone number, or pick a whole class. Each class shows how many active students the message will actually reach.
- Where your texts went, and whether they landed
Which messages went out, whether they arrived, and how many credits the month has cost, all on one page covering your institution's own texts.
- Buy SMS credits without a separate SMS company
Pick a credit package in ClassTablet's SMS Tools and pay on SSLCommerz with bKash, Nagad, Rocket or a card. Credits are added once the payment checks out.
- Send SMS to parents without typing a single number
Pick a classroom, tick 'Also send to parents', write the message. You see the credit cost before sending, and credits for failed messages are refunded.
- An SMS management dashboard for after you press send
ClassTablet's SMS Tools lists every SMS your institution sent with number, message, status and date. Failed ones show the reason, beside your credit balance.
Frequently asked questions
Do parents need the app to get SMS?
No. SMS goes to an ordinary mobile number, with no app or internet needed. The parent's number just has to be linked to the student in ClassTablet.
Do attendance or fee notices go by SMS automatically?
No. Absence and fee notices go automatically by in-app notice, push or email. To tell parents something by SMS, the admin sends it from SMS Tools.
How is SMS usage counted?
Each SMS part costs one credit per recipient. A Bangla SMS holds about 70 characters and an English one 160. The total is shown before you send.
