You could set up a dedicated Android phone with SMSSync [0]. It isn't maintained but I use it for my own personal use and would think it could scale up to meet this kind of demand. I don't know the legality of using a cell phone service for this kind of service though, might violate their terms of service.

- electroly 5y agoThis obviously violates every carrier's terms of service, at least in the United States. There are industry-wide accepted rules about this; regular local long codes are not allowed for A2P messaging. Your A2P texts will be blocked long before you get to 250,000 texts in a month. I would bet that you don't even survive the first day. You're just flying under the radar right now because your volume is low.
- kk6mrp 5y agoThank you, that's good to know! My messages currently sync to a database which has a frontend that I can view and respond to messages from. I haven't ever set up any automated messages though.
- monocasa 5y agoYou get rate limited pretty quickly from what I've heard. Normal carriers don't want you doing this.
