    I am looking to start an opt-in sms list. I need a company that can do this. I want to be able to setup my website that will allow users to add their phone number to my list, or perhaps let them text a code to a number to get added. I don't need to buy a list of users, I just need a company that has a platform that will let me run the opt-in list.

    Also I need to be able to buy bulk sms messages to send out.

    I need to be able to schedule a message so it goes out a certain time and date as well.

    I don't need to receive sms messages from users.

    I am looking to send 1000-2000 sms messages per week to start and grow from there.

    Anyone doing anything like this? Any recommendations as to which company I would use to do this? I have spent some time searching and have not really come up with anything. That is partly because I have only done opt-in email lists before and have never done anything with sms, so I don't really know what I am looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    MAtt

    Very ambitious this sounds like a good idea.

    Yes, well I had a friend custom code a script and tweak my site. - fortunately I have friends that are smarter then me! - It works for Canada and US. I have about 300 people signed up, but I tracked the results and it was way less then I hoped for. Its still decent and all, but about like the email newsletter. Every little bit counts though.
