This facility allows you to send broadcast messages to all PhonePad users. The messages will be automatically displayed when they are received and will appear on top of all windows.  Only users that have PhonePad running will receive the message.

All you need to do is type the message and click the Send button.

 

 

Important:  You may need to configure your network to use this facility.  If you have routers or bridges on your network (or software firewalls such as ZoneAlarm), you may need to open Port 12500 to allow UDP connections.  If you find that the messages aren't being received by PhonePad users (remember, they have to be logged in to PhonePad), then the messages are being blocked somewhere.
