we need a couple updates:
"if you receive a phone call and the number is not in your contacts, do not pick up. listen to their voice mail, or make your voice mail message 'please send me a text' and wait for a text"
"if you receive a text message / email from anyone and it has a link in it, don't click it"

- Scoundreller 3y agoMeanwhile the nurse at my nieces+nephews school gets labelled as “likely spam”… probably because nobody answers
- jareklupinski 3y agothe administration at school asked us to join a whatsapp room for those kinds of comms, and they DM from that for anything specific it's a cute solution, made me think of my school back-in-the-day having a basic php-type forum for snow days / announcements etc, always wanted to add DMs and notifications to that...
- _rs 3y agoI'm curious what locale you're in and how popular WhatsApp is there. I feel some sort of way about having to make a WhatsApp account for this sort of communication, over, say, a phone call, text message, or email
