In this age of mobile phones, SMS (short messaging service) has become very popular. People all over the world are using SMS to keep in touch with their family, friends, etc. Anyone with a mobile can easily send text messages to any other user in the world. You can stay in touch with your business colleagues or loved ones by expressing yourself through SMS.

The latest and the best way of sending SMS these days is email to SMS. In email to SMS, you do not have to use the small keypad of your mobile phone to type the SMS. Instead, you can type your SMS using the keyboard of your computer or laptop and then send an SMS through email.

Using email to SMS is fairly simple. The procedure is very similar to sending an SMS from a mobile phone. The only difference is that instead of a mobile number, you send the SMS through an email ID.

Email to SMS can be really useful for companies who want to keep in touch with their employees. Typing an SMS in a mobile phone keypad can be quite difficult. But with email to SMS, this is no longer a problem.

It is possible to send and receive messages anywhere and anytime with a computer and an internet connection.

It is time to switch on to online SMS if you are still using the traditional mobile phone based SMS. You will save your time and money by using email to SMS.

Gone are the days of sending text messages through mobile phones. As technology advances, we get more innovative ways to make our day to day tasks easier. Sending a text message through your mobile phone is not very convenient as it requires you to type your message in the small keypad.

A mobile phone has a numeric keypad and different alphabets are assigned for various numeric keys. So if you want to type a message it usually takes more time. A computer keyboard has alphabet keys which are justified properly. So it becomes very easy to type a message. It also takes far less time.

One of the benefits of e-mail to SMS is that you can send bulk messages. You can also send bulk messages to people using your mobile phone but usually to a limited number of recipients.

E-mail to SMS allows you to send as well as receive text messages from e-mail applications like G-mail, Hotmail, Lotus notes, Yahoo, Outlook or any other application.

Another advantage is that you can receive delivery reports and replies directly into your inbox. E-mail to SMS is very simple and easy to use and does not require any password or special formatting.

When you create a message, enter the mobile number in the “to” field including the country code and a specified address and send the message. It is that simple.

toText.net is very pleased to announce today the launch of our bulk text message sending feature.

Text messages can be specified in a spreadsheet that can be uploaded and then sent. The messages within the spreadsheet can be customised for each recipient, so you don’t have to send exactly the same message to each recipient.

The first line of the spreadsheet must be a header that defines the data, and each subsequent line represents the text messages that are to be sent.

It is very important that the spreadsheet is in .csv format, as .xls is not supported. You may need to select File, Save As… to get the required format.

Example 1:

The simplest form of the file to upload consists of a set of fixed messages to be sent to one or more mobiles, for example:

MOBILE,MESSAGE
447000000001,Sale now on! Big Savings. From ExampleShop.com
447000000002,Sale now on! Big Savings. From ExampleShop.com
447000000003,Sale now on! Big Savings. From ExampleShop.com
447000000004,Sale now on! Big Savings. From ExampleShop.com
447000000005,Sale now on! Big Savings. From ExampleShop.com

Example 2:

It is also possible to customise the message that is sent to each person. This is done by including one or more additional columns. Wherever the name of the additional columns is found within any of the messages, then the value of that row of the column will be inserted into the message.

MOBILE,BALANCE,MESSAGE
447000000001,10,Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000002,14,Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000003,8,Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000004,20,Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000005,30,Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £BALANCE

This means that the messages that are sent would be as follows:

447000000001:	Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £10
447000000002:	Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £14
447000000003:	Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £8
447000000004:	Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £20
447000000005:	Your book has arrived, outstanding balance £30

Example 3:

Any number of extra columns can be inserted to allow your messages to be highly customised:

MOBILE,BALANCE,NAME,MESSAGE
447000000001,10,Mr Jones,Your book has arrived NAME, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000002,14,Miss Smith,Your book has arrived NAME, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000003,8,Dr Jenkins,Your book has arrived NAME, outstanding balance £BALANCE
447000000004,20,Mr White,Your book has arrived NAME, outstanding balance £BALANCE
