Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Nickel & Dime with Remind 101 and Verizon SMS.

Lots of Schools and Non-Profits rely on Remind to get info out to students, parents, and those that need mass communication. Once again Corporate Greed has gotten the better of Verizon and this valuable tool is now going to cost a lot more to use.

Funny how they say that they (VZ) are all for technology in the schools, but then when it appears to impact the bottom line; they can’t continue to support. Must be more of the $10B in savings needed to not support schools.

Read the statement to teachers and parents.

5g is designed to support SMS but is Vz trying to wean people off of it anyway? Voicemail and SMS are the 2 Dinosaur boxes in most wireless offices. Plus, they’re expensive to maintain.

Agreed , using the app wouldn’t cost a penny more. However a lot of Title 1 schools and schools in rural areas don’t necessarily have people who use Smart Phones. Many of them still have SMS only capable devices as that is all they can afford.

Yea I received that notification as well. I was wondering what the reason could be for increasing the fee that much, knowing that many teachers/educators use this app. But on the other hand, there is a notification from remind if you use the app.
