The problem is contacting hundreds or thousands of numbers with limited available phone lines. It would take took long for the message to get out, especially if it is time sensitive like a late winter school closing.

We created an automated outbound calling engine that did exactly what most of you are seeking to do, and it cost absolutely nothing, granted it took some good Linux-background. Just a thought.
