Who would use Bulk Numbers?
Companies who would like to send one SMS text message to a large group of people. However, as set-out in question 6, there are important restrictions on who you can send messages to and these restrictions apply to Bulk Messages. Example: An insurance company wishes to send a notification message to a group of customers (100), who have opted in to receive these messages, regarding the expiry of their car insurance policy and request the customers to call to arrange renewal. The message text might read: ‘Dear customer, your car insurance policy expires next month. Please call us on 130000 to arrange renewal.’ Using the Bulk Numbers feature, the user could upload the mobile phone numbers of all 100 customers and the message above would get sent to all specified mobile phones.
