SoapBox in Libya

Members without a smartphone

Some of your members have a basic phone. No smartphone? No apps? No internet? No problem. 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.

In your language

The app runs in Arabic, right to left, and each member chooses their own. ORA, SoapBox's study assistant, answers Bible questions in Arabic, as a research aid for study.

Your Bible, free

The Bible reader has the New Arabic Version, free, with many English translations.

For your church

Your church starts free, for up to a hundred members. Share your invite code on WhatsApp, Facebook, by text message or email, straight from the app.

Light on data

Data costs money. 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. Bible chapters you've already opened stay readable on your phone, even offline.

Questions

Does SoapBox send the SMS itself?

No. Your church sends through its own SMS provider, using the list you export from SoapBox.
