asterisk users - Nov 2009 - Send the same message to list of users

Customer is delivering stuff over the ocean.

Time of delivery is between 1 month to 1.5 months.

So
customers need some sort of a tracking system ( hard to implement given
the conditions ) or he needs to let tjem know when the packages
arrived. 

Customers in Europe all have mobile phones, while
senders in North America rarely have them ( they have answering
machines, though ). Could someone point me in the right direction so
that my customer :

A ) Sends the same vocal message to all his customers

or 

B) Sends SMS to everybody in Europe who is expecting packages. 

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Tudor

A)      is "easy".  - exten => s,1,voicemail(group) - record once,
send X
times.

B)      Not quite so simple; you "could" give each person in the group
an
email address and make the non-Euro's be regular email (joe at hotmail.com)
and
Euro's be the SMS address (0123456789 at cingular.com).  You would want to
tweak the standard voicemail email-text in voicemail.conf.  Or you could do
the SMS via an AGI in C/Perl/PHP.

What planet/year are you/your clients living on/in? I don't know anyone who
doesn't have a mobile. Maybe it's just that they call it a cell phone
instead of a mobile :)

How could anyone possible consider themselves a serious business person without
a cell phone? That's laughable.
