    Bulk text messaging !!!!!

    I am after either an android app or phone that can send a message to every mobile phone number in my phonebook at once.

    It's for my company and I want to send all my customers reminders and offers but as i have landlines too i can't just pick all.. and I have over 3000 saved.

    I was told on Blackberry's you can sort numbers i.e, mobile, landline etc and make a group and do a bulk send?!

    Alternative hopefully is a handy android app?!

    Cheers guys!

    I've used a company called Moretext to do this in the past.

    Any company that sends me a text advert is automatically taken off my list of people I'm prepared to do business with. It's the most annoying form of spam imo.

    whenever i have a new cellphone unit, the first problem that we experienced is the phone book transfer. sometimes not all numbers are saved. some of our contacts are lost and no where to find haha

    Unless I had previously explicitly told them it was okay, that'd be pretty much my reaction, too. I might give them a chance or two to quit doing it, but even that would depend on the company and how much I valued their service. Few things are more annoying than junk calls/texts to a mobile .... except possibly the same to my home phone.
