LEADERSHIP: Want to send group texts?

One of the best ways to communicate with people these days is texting. You can get your information sent out to a lot of people without spending hours in conversation. One problem is that being able to text large groups depends on your phone. Some phones will send 10 texts and some just one at a time. Here are a few options to help with that problem. BE SURE to check all the details of any pay by the month service to make sure it's worth what you pay. Some of the details will depend on how many texts you send and whether or not you want people to be able to respond.
