How do you send sms to up to 2000 business clients at once? Normally, with a mobile phone, you could compose and send sms to those clients on a one by one basis but that takes a lot of time. A faster way to send a high number of sms with a mobile phone would be by first grouping those contacts as a single group and then sending a single message to that group. The last method could take quite some time, cost more mobile phone credit and may be limited to only a specific number of contacts.

A much smarter way to send such an sms to a large number of people would be by making use of a bulk sms account.

With your bulk sms account you could simply compose and send a single sms to a larger number of people.
