Drupal 6 module to send SMS Blasts to bulk lists of numbers.
Depends on SMS Framework.
The user can either:
- "Send with form": paste a list of SMS numbers into a HTML form - quick and easy!
- "Send with Views": select an existing View and CCK field - SMSs will be sent to the number in the CCK field for every node returned by the View.
SMS messages themselves are entered free-form. There is a "history" log of past SMS Blasts, including per-recipient success/fail status.
The "Send with form" option is really simple and easy to use.
On the other hand, the "Send with Views" approach is much more powerful and difficult to use. In order to take advantage of "Send with Views", follow these steps:
1) Install and enable the Views module (you'll probably want views_ui, too)
2) Create (or reuse) a Content Type with a CCK field for storing SMS numbers.
For example, try calling the Content Type "SMSRecipients" and the CCK field "SMSNumber".
3) Create some test nodes in your content type.
Be sure to use 10-digit US SMS numbers in your designated CCK field.
