How It Works
This service is an economic way to send "Bulk SMS" from your phone. If you are sending just to one person at a time, we advise you to use do so through the website. For instance, you have an account on CONNECT SMS and the mobile number supplied when you were registering is 2348012345678, access password to your online SMS account is 2017, and you have a list on you online phone book called ‘parents’. An SMS to this list may read as such: "Dear parents, this is to inform you that December 25, 2017 has been scheduled as open day. Please endeavor to come. Thanks."

 

To send this message using Text Direct, compose SMS from the mobile 2348012345678 as given below:

 

2017@parents@Dear parents, this is to inform you that December 25, 2021 has been declared as Open Day. Please endeavor to come. Thanks.

 

Simply send to our Longcode number. The message gets delivered to every mobile number listed on the 'Parents' phonebook list.
