JANET txt
JANET(UK) is delighted to announce the launch the new Short Message Service (SMS) – JANET txt, with PageOne selected as the partner for delivery to the JANET community.
JANET txt is available to all JANET connected organizations and will allow them to send and receive text messages, to and from, relevant groups & individuals.
A leaflet describing the service is available here.
The key features and benefits are:
Cost: There are no set up fees or recurring charges for the basic service. All messages are charged at 4.2p (+ VAT) per message sent. SMS Messages are purchased in blocks and are valid for 12 months from the order date.

Control: Participants will administer and regulate their own usage of texting facilities, with specific billing and auditing reports. The service will also support customisation and branding options so that the tools and the messages are clearly associated with the organisation deploying them.
Integration: We plan to pursue the addition of SMS functionality into existing MIS, Library and VLE systems used within the JANET community, allowing these resources to be fully used in an integrated communications strategy.
Two way communications: Organisations simply push out information and can solicit responses when required, such as opt-in to information bulletins, simple polling or requests for further information or contact.
Accessibility: The service will support multilingual formats, non-text based delivery (email and text-to-voice options), and international delivery.
Flexibility: Messages may be prepared from templates using mail merge functions, and scheduled for delivery at appropriate times. Potential recipients may also be grouped into relevant groups for bulk delivery of messages (e.g. ‘all staff’, ‘2 nd year law students’, etc.).
Reliability: The service has been designed from the start as a secure and highly available facility tailored to honour best practice in handling data potentially relating to minors or vulnerable adults. Relevant operating staff will have undergone Criminal Records Bureau checks.
