How to send Bulk SMS

 

In this step-by-step tutorial, we are going to teach you, free of charge, how to send Bulk SMS in Nigeria.
The title of this article might seem simple, or even laughable to those who already understand the procedure and technique for sending bulk SMS with computers but the motivation for writing this was after seeing *paid* seminars teaching people how to send bulk SMS. We realized that if we could provide you with a simple, easy to understand guide, it would be much easier for you.

 

There might come a time in your life when you would have to send seasonal text messages to your friends and loved ones or send out an advertising message for your business, a political text message to your constituents or a devotional text message to your church members.
The mere horror of trying to type and send to 1000 or more contacts individually on your small phone keypad might be what has driven you into considering the better and more effective option of using bulk SMS for the task.

 

 

To send your messages successfully, you would need the following at hand:
1.) Your phone numbers stored on a flash drive or your computer. The numbers should be stored preferably as a text (.txt) file and should either be one number per line, or each number should be separated by a comma.

2.) Your text message: this can also be saved or you can have it memorised and typed whenever you a ready to send. Please try to keep this short as though multiple page messages are supported by various providers, it is also best to keep messages at one page as some mobile phones might have been filled to capacity and as such, might not get the message in full.

3.) A reliable SMS provider: this is a must if you want your text messages sent. Your SMS provider must provide coverage for the destinations you want to send messages to, must have a track record of reliable SMS delivery, must have a facility for you to keep records and must offer a reasonable price for the service. We have a list of SMS providers who have passed our test in our 100% free e-book which you can easily get from this blog.

 

Once you have this three components ready for you, then you are ready to start sending your bulk SMS in a few easy steps that would be shown pictorially below.

We would be using our chosen SMS Portal. Ren Tech (www.rentech.com.ng) for the tutorial.

1.) Register with your chosen provider

This is done, in our example by visiting www.rentech.com.ng and ticking on the register button indicated by the number “1” below and entering the required details

3.) Load your SMS account with credits
