Sending multiple sms

Hi
I need help please. I have a nokia 5530 xpress music and I would like to send multiple text messages to one number, approx 400 texts in one go, to the same person/number.
I would like to do this without buying any software.
At the moment I can only send one at a time, then I go back in the sent menu and resend which will take too long to send 400 texts.
Anyone know of a quicker/easier way to do this.

All replies appreciated.

Many thanks

    lol! I can't even think of a legit reason why you'd want to send 400 of the same message to the same person?! I don't think you can do it on the phone though. Even if you added their number to the "To:" field loads of times, it would still only send it once.

    I know my friend harrassment is illegal but its not for those purposes. Its for adding topup via sms, the more sms sent the more credit gained.

    Just because you haven't heard of it, does not make it illegal now does it?

    At a guess the 'legit' service you're trying to scam will refuse to honour the payment if you were to cheat the system in sending that sort of volume of sms at once.

    Stick to doing it manually or just buy credit.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Im not trying to scam anyone, theres no chance that the credits wont be honoured. You lot have just got the wrong end of the stick.

    Im a honest person, the last thing i would do would be to try a scam or do something dishonest.:(
