What does tacuText cost?
With tacúText the person who receives the message pays 20c. When a message is received from 53215 they will be billed 20cents (VAT inclusive). There are no other subscription charges, or minimum usage requirements. Other service messages or support communications will be marked tacutext.ie (freetext) and will cost you nothing. There are NO other charges.

Can I use tacúText for another use outside of sport or school?
Yes, we developed tacúText for schools, sports clubs an voluntary organisations, but it can also be used as a low cost group texting system. If you find a novel use let us know about it on help@tacutext.ie

Can you recommend what kind of Group name I should use?
A group member might be a member of several groups so the name should be short and distinctive, e.g. clonU14h might be a good name for under 14 hurling at Clonakilty. Do not use spaces or hyphens in group names.

Could someone else have the same group name?
As group names are associated with your mobile number then its no problem for rmany people to have the same group names. It also means you can have any group name you like.

How do I know how many people have joined my new group?
When you POST a message you’ll see how many people received it from our delivery status reports. Or Text 

INFO groupname 

to 53215 and we’ll text back the number of members and details of the last few who’ve joined. You can also go to www.tacutext.ie and look up your groups in the user area under GROUP OWNER LOGIN

How can I remember what groups I have set up or what groups have I joined?
Text GROUPS from your phone to 53215 and we’ll text you all the groups you’re a member of.

I sent a text to my group but go no response from 53215.
We will ALWAYS send you a response typically within 30s unless we did not get the message. Check your credit. If you have no credit the operators will not tell you when you send a text. Check the text is not too long. Texts to shortcodes cannot be longer than a single text, 160 chars. Remove any symbols, such as euro or smileys from your text.

How do I leave a group?
If you have received a message from a group in the last 24 hours simply text,

STOP

to 53215 and you will be removed from that group.

Otherwise Text 

STOP groupName    - If you belong to only one group of that name

Or

STOP  groupName  groupNumber 

to 53215. You will get the groupName and groupNumber at the start of the messages you are getting from the group.


I joined a group but am not getting any texts.

Text GROUPS to 53215 to see what groups you are a member of or check with the group owner as they can see if you are joined to the group. If so then email help@tacutext.ie for support.

Can I REPLY to 53215?
No. Reply to your group owner whose number is listed at the start of the message. 

Why don’t I need to include my phone number in the JOIN message, but do need the coach’s phone number?
Group Names are associated with the group owners mobile number so  many people can have the same group name., e.g first.  When you send the JOIN text your mobile number is included automatically. We need the group owners mobile number to know which group you wish to join.
