When we were looking for a text service at our community college, we happened upon SlickText. That was eight years ago now. Their customer service is top notch and sending texts is easy. We are able to contact students fairly easily and remind them about deadlines or things they signed up for. We have also used it for campus alerts and information.

We LOOOOOOVE SlickText. It has drastically improved our bottom line and I don't know how we functioned for years without it.

I love that you can choose the lowest pricing tier and then instantly upgrade if your campaign is working well and you need more contacts/texts. The barrier to entry is really low. I did a lot of research before opting for SlickText and I'm really pleased with it.
