That depends on where in the world you live. True unlimited text message accounts don't exist in my country; if such a thing exists where you live, check the terms of service VERY carefully. You might get smacked for going against those terms by using it to send bulk messages. If you do use a single modem with such an account, you will further be restricted by the over the air bandwidth of the GSM network, which is something like 9600 bps, meaning you can send at most 7-8 full 160 character messages every second per modem; most likely far less than that. If you want to send at a rate higher than that, you need a direct SMSC connection to a mobile carrier. -- We--even we here--hold the power and bear the responsibility. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/
