Pls Nairalanders, am new to web programming. I may want to know how to make a website send bulk sms, ie what does it take for a website to be able to send bulk sms, ur assistance needed urgently, pls, tnx

Am not 100% sure but i think its not the site that sends the application but the application you integrate into it. If i were to do something like this, Java web start would be my first choice. So what experience do you have with software development

You need to connect to an API (HTTP or SMPP). Sending SMS requires you connect to a gateway or provider and create your web app according to their API specification.
If you are using PHP and with API like what you have here: http://www.estoresms.com/api
then you can use any of the following php commands to call up their http api:
file_get_contents
fsockopen
CURL

If you are trying to develop an sms website, save your time and your money and try this: http://www.smsportalcreator.com

@Fayimora and lojik, thanks for the info so far.




I will still appreciate and welcome other options.

The answer has been given by lojik;
you need to embed an sms API from a
gateway into your web application.

Other Options?

Try talk to all the mobile networks in the world
or at least those you intend to use.

just pay for an sms gateway online so its a worldwide app and you are good to go

You need to register with a sms provider, who has a gateway. they will give you there API (application programming interface). you will use the API to send message from your site through there network. I am using smslive247.com as my sms gateway and there gateway is good. I have a ready made code for sending message through there gateway too if you care for it just give me a call or better still mail me.
