Does anybody know a good solution of mass SMS sending? I dont need for spam or similar... I am an admin at a community of my local town and i would like to announce events to people who would subscribe to this function... I am talking about not much people, probalby under 30 so there is no need for the subscription to be automated... Maybe that the sms would be send almost at the same time would be good... Thanks

you would need sms getway for something like that.
Or you can allways find some free sms sender sites... like:
http://communicator.clickatell.com/
from them you can chose to how to send sms, just add " , " and when to send and what would the number or texts be...
only you have limited that... but find more mobil phones to send code to and you will have more free sms.

Why you need to do that mass sms sending? Wanna spam some peoples who don't like you?

sms gateway... i came up with this term on google also, but i didnt find anything useful... what is an sms gateway accutaly? how does it work? can i set it up on a home linux server?

This is interesting.. my friend set up his own wap page so he can surf the web easy so ill ask him about it.

I know yaho instant messanger can send free sms messages to people... just hop on there and sms ppl..

or you could find a way to manipulate their gateway using multiple yahoo accounts so you could spam someone

sorry for double post...

You can find sms gatways everywhere on the web... you can run your own or use someone elses. When you run your own you need to connect a phone to your computer os it can send. When using someone elses sms gateway it is a service and you must pay. usually...

Yahoo offers free sms as i mentioned earlier. I use trillian not yahoo but i assume you can mass message people who are in a group.. youd enter their # not their yahoo id.

I ran etheral while sending messages to my phone and yahoo passes my message to a server called "pcsms.us.tmobile" to redirect it to my phone... i assume you can take advantage of this and bypass yahoo.

I put a screenshot of my ethetheal capture here but didnt post it cause i didnt take the time to size it

Clickatell is quite expensive, i dont like their method of payment either.

Better use your own mobile phone DD

could you just not contact a local phone company and enquire how to do this sort of thing, because obviously the system is out there ie. ringtone ads and so on. im sure a phone company somewhere would have access to this sort of system. if not im not really sure, you could ask someone to make something for you that could do what you want, but they would have to be pretty clever

i cant begin to imagine how hard that would be

if u are going to pay for the sms (use your own mobile number)
there is progy that send mass sms but you need cable or somethinges to link your mobile (im using bluetooth) , you write the numbers then you click on send and every one going to get your sms in one time (You can google for the programe you will find it)

www.pimpmysms.com you can also send spoofed sms ;]
