How do I use Siri to send messages to groups?

Step 1 - Check your settings to make sure that your personal mobile number is added to the "Broadcast From Phone" box.

Step 2 - Save your Toll-Free StringPing Number to your phone address book and assign it a name that is easy to remember and that can be used when instructing Siri such as "The Club" or "The Tennis Club"

Step 3 - Make a note of the "Group Keyword(s)" that correspond with the group that you want to message. They can be found under "Groups" and under the column of "Keywords".

Step 4 - Instruct Siri to send a message:

Say: "Hey Siri"

Siri will say "yes" or "uh huh"

Say: "Send a message to The Tennis Club" (or whatever name you have assigned your toll-free number)

Siri will say "what do you want to say"?

Say: Send the group keyword followed by a colon and then the message - for example: "Send Members: No lessons today due to rain"

This will broadcast that message to the group without logging on to StringPing and is a quick and easy way to notify a group.
