Automated SMS service!

Hi guys

Just a quick one, im looking for some information.

Basically, im looking at setting up an SMS service which will, at a
given time each day, send a message to a fair few people.

Is this a server job? What equipment is required? I will want it to
be a subscription service so either i take a monthy fee for sending the
messages or its on a per message basis charged to their bill?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for info?

Thanks

Alex

Personally, I'd use something like clickatell.com and write a script to send
out as and when you like.

http://www.bulksms.co.uk/ supports scheduling as well mobile to group
messaging use this with something along the lines of paypal for charges and
you will be up and running very quickly

Are you sure? "Locust 2003" .. I don't think Jon is working on it anymore,
he's pretty busy with mesh networking.
