One of the cool things you can do with your mobile GSM phone is sending text messages aka sms. They are like letters in digital form that one can send to another person on the gsm network.
Now, a lot of us do make use of the sms service offered by our network in sending short messages to our contacts but how about being able to send that same sms to a group of people - That's where bulk sms comes in.

I know this works on most phones but I prefer using my Nokia 5330 to do this as you can easily categorize your contacts into groups and then send.

Things to do first
If you don't already havea bulk mailing list yet on your phone, you'd need to create one first by going to your contacts as follows:

- Go to contacts
- Click on options to create group
- Call the group what you like like, Customers, Colleagues, Inner circle, Club, Church members or neighbours
- Now add members to group. You can add like 500 or so contacts per group

Once you've created your group, you can always add new contacts to that group which will serve as your bulk sms list

How to send bulk sms from Nokia phone
- Go to messages
- Create the message
- Enter recipients as the group
- Click to send
- It keeps sending until it sends to everyone on that group

It should give you a delivery report after sending to every member of that group or bulk sms list.

So when next you want to send the same sms to a lot of people, don't send it contact by contact, rather group the contacts first and then send with ease. You could even group the contacts as "My wedding invitees".

You can also select the numbers from your phone bookand send at once if you have not group the numbers but to group it make it faster.
