Bulk texting service using software?

[Yucca]

Does anyone have any experiance with sending out bulk text messages using software rather than a mobile?

My boss has asked me to find a way to send out 6000 texts telling guests we are now taking Christmas bookings and i dont intend to do it by mobile!

I have all the numbers in an excel sheet.

Anyone done this before folks?

I know if i google it i will find plenty of sites which offer this kind of service but i always go by recommendations from others if possible.

Thanks

Oh so much choice lol!

Do these all allow you to have your name as the sender number? Ie it looks like the message came from "Pizza Hut" instead of a number for example...

Any whats the turn around time normally? Ie if i set up to and pay to send 10,000 will they all go out in seconds or hours?
