The marketing page really needs to be changed to make it clear that it doesn't automatically gather email addresses.

I can see the benefits of the pitch that people only need to text the codeword but you could presumably extend the service to offer greater parsing of message content e.g. people can text the codeword, name and email and you parse them out rather than ask people to reply again with their email address.

We started off asking people to send their email along with the code word but that was really confusing. However, we only ask people for their emails once; from then on RollCallMe remembers the email. - Arshad
