MX Telecom Bulk SMS Service
Overview
In the UK and most of the world, Bulk SMS is free for a mobile phone user to receive, and hence the sender pays the total cost of messages. The situation is different in the USA; please see the "Americas" section of the site for more details.
MX Telecom can send Bulk SMS to a large number of destinations throughout the world, connecting to almost all GSM networks, & many non-GSM networks. Delivery reports and message concatenation are both supported, as well as other forms of SMS such as WAP Push and various "Smart Messages". The service is fast, reliable, and easy to use. Once submitted to the SMS Gateway, all messages will be sent out in seconds.
Bulk SMS can be sent without use of Operator Short Codes, a Virtual Mobile number, or hosted SIM Card. SMS messages can be sent via the Internet by making a standard HTTP request, although other technical interfaces are also available. Alternatively, either of MX Telecom's hosted web applications could be used: Web Edition or CMX2. More details on these can be found in the How to Connect section.
