BulkSMS

• Source: https://bulksms.com
• Icon Support: No
• Message Format: Text
• Message Limit: 160 Characters per message

Account Setup

Sign up for BulkSMS from here. You will be provided to create a user and password to associate with your account. This is all you need to use this through Apprise.

Syntax

Valid syntax is as follows:

• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{target}

A target can be either a phone number, or if prefixed with @ it becomes a group.

• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{phoneNo}
• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{phoneNo1}/{phoneNo2}/{phoneNoN}
• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{group}
• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{group1}/@{group2}/@{groupN}

You can mix and match as well

• bulksms://{user}:{password}@{to_phone1}/@{group1}

For ambiguity, if you do not provide a valid phone number, and the information parsed does not exclusively have a@ in front of it, then it is first interpreted as phone number. However if alphanumeric characters are detected in it, then it is switched to a group.
