Hi,

Just curious.  When you say "at the same time", do you mean they MUST 
all be made at the same time or do you mean make all 50 calls in a 
relatively short interval?  That would make a big difference, I think.

I ask because you say that you want to "send out a voice message" and it 
sounds like you just want to broadcast a message to 50 persons, not 
necessarily dialing all 50 at the same time.

If you do not need to make all 50 calls at the same time, you can break 
them up into 5,10,20 call attempts at a time until all recipients have 
been reached or they have been tried the maximum number of times...
