Checked Google already, just wondered if there was anything local. As far as sending to the e-mail address of the phone, some companies (Rogers) force you to subscribe to the service with your first message received at $10.00/month, pilots are cheap...
Contract negotiations are coming up in 2009. From: Bruce Nik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October-28-08 9:19 PM To: Mark Palser; [email protected] Subject: RE: [biz] SMS Gateway You can take advatage of goolge and search bulk sms. There are lots of companies that do that; probably cheaper than what you can arrange for in short time yourself. If numbers are all in Canada you can probably have a simple script to mail them the txt msg. (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you don't know which carrier the phone goes by then I guess you have no way but to pay for the service. Phone directories such as 411 are no longer credible when it comes to finding the carrier since the number porting has become a popular thing. SMS ASAP? Are pilots going on strike? is it the gas prices? is it the unfair CAD/US doller? Is Air Canada going bankrupt again? LOL The other day, I was trying to book tickets on aircanada.ca and I was amazed to find out that they tracked me by cookies and gouged the prices if I checked the same dates over and again. So, I disabled receiving cookies and the prices dropped down to the original price. Modern day gouging. Sorry, I had to take that out of my chest and let you guys know if you book aircanada online. -Bruce > Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:02:54 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [biz] SMS Gateway > > I work for an airline pilots association and I'm looking to be able to > text a message to 3000 + cell phones ASAP should the need arises.
