Service and programme notices
Midweek service moved, all-night tonight, harvest on the 24th. One campaign to the whole congregation or just one fellowship.
SMS for churches
SMS for churches in Ghana
Announcements do not reach the members who missed Sunday. Taysend lets a church send programme changes, dues receipts, and bereavement notices from the church's own name to every member list — prepaid, so the finance committee sees exactly what was spent.
Use cases
What churches send with Taysend
Dues and offering receipts
Send a receipt when a payment is recorded. Members get a record on their phone; the church gets a message id per receipt.
Bereavement and welfare
Funeral arrangements and welfare visits go out the same day, to the right group, from a name members recognise.
Departments and branches
Keep youth, choir, and men's fellowship as separate lists. Branches can each have a client account with their own wallet.
Examples
Messages you can copy
Units and cost are counted from the text, the same way the wallet bills it.

FAQ
Straight answers
If something here is product behaviour, it matches the dashboard and the API.
01Can each church branch pay for its own SMS?+
Yes. Onboard each branch as a client. They get their own login, dashboard, and prepaid wallet — the head office does not fund them.
02Will members see the church's name?+
Yes, once your sender ID is approved. It is 3–11 characters, the same on every network.
03Can we send in Twi or with emojis?+
Yes, but characters outside GSM-7 switch the message to Unicode, which fits 70 characters per segment instead of 160. Check the character counter before a big send.
