Know how to send in SMS with your phone? Please tell me you do. If you have kids, and you don’t, you better figure it out quick. Because this site is written for webmasters in general, I am going to assume you know how. Here is another question for you though. Do you know how to send SMS messages in bulk?

An Australian company, Message Media, has got bulk SMS dialed. A few instant message services like Yahoo allow you to send an SMS from its IM software, but Message Media makes it so you can send it from your mail software like Microsoft Outlook. The best part is, you can send a message to an entire group, not just one person at a time like Yahoo. An even greater part to this, is that when the person replies to the message using their phone or whatever, the message is sent to your inbox, not your SMS device. It’s basically turned SMS into email, and your email address is your phone number. Cool deal.

When using their service for corporate SMS you can know that their network is Australian based, and they do not use International SMS/Junk type networks. Didn’t get that SMS? The service probably got routed into International waters. They guarantee their services, and have been around for eight years.

Now they just need to figure out how to start offering their services over here in the U.S.. I would love to send bulk SMS through my Outlook. Anyone know any?
