asterisk users - Aug 2011 - Assistance sending mass sms to cellphones

Hello.

I would like to know if is possible to send mass sms with an php agi script
through asterisk?

For example: I have about 50 cellphone numbers I would like to text whenever
theres a meeting, I should load the numbers from a database and send a message
via web with php and have asterisk send it.

I've been googling about it but, I get a lot of providers that already do
this but, I would like to learn how to do it myself since my budget is very
minimum.

Thanks in advanced for your help and time.

This is off topic...

Asterisk will not provide you with the ability to SMS random cell phones.

Being able to "transport" the SMS yourself is a grewling process..
Look at
software like Kamel...

Basically you have three options:
( a ) cheat and use the email method - i.e. determine everyone's carrier and
use the email address equivalent
( b ) utilize a 3rd party to transmit the sms for you (cost) and they might
end up doing ( a ) above without you knowing
( c ) spend lots of money and headaches transporting sms yourself.

Either way it's off-topic and not related to Asterisk.
