[asterisk-users] Automatic dialing + SMS

[gadgetronixs at gmail.com]

Hi Guys
Using call files might be easiest. But I d also try out AGI scripting too. I ll be sure to call back if I require any help. 

For the sms bit,...let's say I want to send bulk sms to multiple mobile devices. 

Thanks a lot

Asterisk is a telephony Erector Set*. You get to build what you want. All 
the pieces are there.

Easy may not be best. 'Easiest' is the language you know best. Best 
depends on your needs.

A scripting language like PHP may be easiest for you if you know that 
language. A compiled language like C may be best if you want to run a 
bazillion calls per second.

You can execute xxx AGIs written in C in the time it takes to load the 
Perl or PHP interpreter and parse your script.
