How to Send 100 Text Messages at Once
Sending text messages is an effective way to communicate with people to relay a short, quick message. If you need to send a group of 100 people the same text message, you can do so using your cell phone. Depending upon your cell phone plan, you will be charged for any text messages if you go over your allotted amount for the month. However, to save money, you can email the text message for free to each person at once. AOL, Yahoo, and Gmail allow 100 or more recipients at a time per email.
