How do I create SMS mailing lists with vgsmail?
The easiest way at present is to use the email-to-sms facility. All you need to do is create an email mailing list in your favourite mail client (eudora, outlook, pine, hotmail…) which contains the list of recipients in the form PHONENUMBER@sms.vgsmail.com or ALIAS@alias.vgsmail.com. Once you’ve done that, you can send an SMS to everyone on this mailing list with a single email. Does VGSMail support alphanumeric sender ID, e.g. rather than showing 4478140000, it shows vgsmail in the sender address? Yes. We apply a charge of GBP1.50 to set this up. We may however decline such request at our sole discreation if we believe this facility may be abused. Does VGSMail support low credit notification? Yes. Just email us the balance level that you wish to receive a low balance notification email and your userID and we will set this up. A scheduled program will then check everybody’s balance at 8:00am and email those whose balance has fell below the preset level.
