Anyone know of any cheap net based system for sending texts to team members (can be up to 40 texts at a time)?  There must be some good ones out there.

We use:

http://teamer.net/

We user teamer.net as well, and it's very good. I also use it to organise my Thursday night astro turf soccer yahoos as well.

Was checking our teamer.net there, it looks the business.  Does it torture the players with spam or anything?

AZOffaly

No. They get a bit of an ad at the bottom of each text like 'Training at 6.30pm in the field, please bring registration forms. Text Y or N. LUCOZADE SPORT GIVES 15% MORE FUEL'

It always has "Text Y or N" before the ad. But you can also put in the "no need to reply" if all you're doing is letting people know training is on, and you're not worried about exact numbers who turn up.

Should say it costs nothing to send out the text, and only costs the price of a normal text to respond. All their money is off the little ads on the end.

Is it not still free to reply? It used to be anyway...

I think it's free in that you don't pay them anything. I suppose it's still a text off your prepay or monthly allowance or whatever. I know Teamer don't charge you anyway.

It used to be totally free to reply, i.e. no charge from your network provider, must check if that is still the case next time around

Could hardly be free to reply - teamer wouldnt pay the network providers to cover that. But as said above they don't charge any extra either, just standard text. You can also go onto the website to click Yes or No, rather than texting.
