The scenario is: 1) School is closed because the boiler has broken down. 2) The Head (or any authorised person) calls the service and leaves a detailed message of the reason for closure 3) The system sends the text message* to all subscribers saying "School is closed today, please call foo for more details" 4) If anyone wants more details, then they call in. * this message can be changed at any time by the Head texting it to the service.
