SoapBox in Botswana

Members without a smartphone

Some of your members have a basic phone. No smartphone, no apps, no internet. SoapBox has a place for them too.

Add them to your People list with a name and a mobile number. They need no app and no account.
To reach them by SMS, export your People list with phone numbers from the web app or Android, and send through your church's own SMS provider.

Your Bible, free

The Bible reader has the Setswana New Testament, free, with many English translations.

For your church

Your church starts free, for up to a hundred members. Share your invite code on WhatsApp. Visitors who check in at the door land in Visitor Follow-up, and you can publish a free web page for your church.

Light on data

Turn on Data-Light Mode, and photos inside posts wait until you tap them: always on Android and the web app, and on iPhone whenever you're on mobile data. Chapters you've already read stay on your phone.

Growing?

Paid plans are discounted for churches in Botswana.
