Bulk SMS for schools: reach every parent
Send exam results, fee reminders and announcements straight to parents’ phones — including the parents with a basic phone and no data bundle. ShuleTop fills in each learner’s own results or balance, so every parent gets a message about their own child.

Why SMS still matters in Kenya
A WhatsApp group only reaches parents who have a smartphone and data at that moment, and an urgent fee reminder is soon buried under other messages. An SMS arrives on any phone, needs no data, and comes as its own message. Read why SMS still beats WhatsApp for reaching every parent.
Simple pricing
KES 1 per SMS, bought as credits whenever you need them. ShuleTop counts the characters as you type, so you know how many SMS a message will use before you send it, and keeps a record of every message: who it went to, and whether it was sent or failed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an SMS cost?
KES 1 per SMS. A message longer than 160 characters counts as more than one SMS; ShuleTop shows you the count before you send.
How do we buy SMS credits?
From inside ShuleTop: pay, paste the payment confirmation, and the credits are added to your school’s balance once confirmed.
Can each parent get their own child’s results?
Yes. Results go to each parent separately with only their own child’s marks — never to a group.
How do we know if a message went out?
The SMS history shows every message, who it went to and whether it was sent or failed. Failed messages can be sent again.
