Hi KcToo,
Interesting posting. Could it be that this is only working in PROC? I cant get it started, maybe that's also because there is very little explication about your code and on the lcUrl I get a page cannot be found. The directs me straight to China. ????

LouisC4,
Just as an FYI, we just started doing some text messaging at our company. But we don't send messages directly to the recipients. We send a file to a third party vendor and they send the desired message.
The reason is that they have approval and specs from various cell service providers and are able to send the messages.
Since most cell phone providers as of now, totally abhor spam and 'war dialers', they won't let just anyone send a message to just any phone, especially in bulk.
If you are allowed/have permission to send mesages to a certain set of phones, you can basically use an email client to do it.
