I want to send bulk text messages to phones in the UK. I need the web
address of a company that will provided me with the following:

A sms service where I can upload my messages via a ftp site.

A company that will let me buy 5000 or less text messages for under
£0.025 each.

I service where I get control of the  ‘sender’ number as well as the
destination number.

The company must have operators the speak English.

Can you let Google researchers know:

1. whether you are sending the bulk text messages to phones in the UK
as an individual or as a business?
2. are you sending the text messages from within the UK or outside of
the UK?
3. can you explain in more detail what you mean by "get control of the
sender number as well as the destination number" - what, specifically,
do you want to get control of?

The sender number is the number displayed on the phone, usually it is
the number the message was sent from. We would like to be able to set
this number to whatever we want

I could be wrong, but this sounds alot to me like an attempt to use
SMS for unsolicited advertisements.  I cannot see any ethical reason
for wanting to send spoofed messages, especially to cellular phone
customers who are on quota'ed service plans, that probably ends up
costing the customer.

You are wrong, firstly the sms is not suitable for unsolicited
advertisements as it is relatively so expensive and restricted to a
160 character message. Secondly, it doed not cost the subscribed
customer anything. Thirdly there are 10000’s of ethical reasons for
needing bulk text messages, ours lies in the property market, more
