Set up Texting in Excellerate

Excellerate has the ability to send text messages to your members and pre-members.  You can send texts to an individual member, or to an entire view of members.
To send texts, you first purchase a block of text credits from our website.  If you buy 100 credits, then you can send 100 text messages.  Credits never expire, so you can keep them as long as you want.
