**What is the Text Team?**

Through the COSGOTV (Get Out the Vote) app, volunteers can efficiently deliver a mass quantity of P2P (person to person) text messages in a short amount of time.10 messages can be sent in under 30 seconds.

**Important:** 

  * Don't send more than 30 messages a minute (3 pages).
  * Don't text more than 1 hour.
  * Don't send more than 200 messages per day.

**If you do, your carrier may block you from sending any texts!!**

Users of the COSGOTV app (referred to as Activists) may be assigned to one or more teams, and teams are assigned to campaigns, which are associated with one or more lists of people to text (referred to as Voter Lists).

To use the COSGOTV app as an Activist, a person must have a CitizenBuilder (CB) account and have signed the Volunteer Agreement, but no assigned CB role is needed.

The COSGOTV app uses the Activist’s CB account, so the same email and password are used to sign in. An admin must include each Activist in an authorized list before they are able to use the app.

**[NOTE: this //COSGOTV// app is different from, and separate from, the [[https://conventionofstates.com/phone-calls|//TelePatriot//]]  functions of the COSAction app.]**

**In order to be assigned to the Texting Team, you must first be a Volunteer Activist.**
