Broadcast SMS from access 2010 to Customers

[Moore71]

Hi,
I am just looking if there is any one who has VBA code to broadcast SMS from customer table in an automated manner or manually.

Thank you in advance for response

Via what? I do it through Twilio, but there are many other carrier options, and the methodology will likely differ.

What I mean is broadcast directly without using third party software or how do you mean?

Well, somehow you have to connect with the phone network. I use Twilio, there are others, and there are devices that connect to your network and act like a phone. The only way I know without anything but Access is email-to-text, but that requires you know the user's carrier.

I use TextMagic, basically an email system. So if your MS Access system can send an email, you can send a text message.

Oh! They got an API now! Interesting!
