    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.

    Just to add this company whos giving me the credit show how to send multiple sms to make it easier but they dont show for nokias, only samsung, sony erriccson and iphone.

    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.:(

    So why not share it with us then if it is perfectly legit?

    People might be more willing to help and make suggestions then.

    it seems completely amateurish if you're expected to do things like this, or need to ask - whatever it is, surely if it was intended to be used like this there would be more than one number provided to send to?

    Just as a suggestion, although obviously I don't know for sure - the OP could have an old 'we-pay' sim from 3 - whereby you gained credit for each call or SMS that you received from another network. If you've got a pal or another phone with unlimited texts, it seems quite legit. to send all of these texts etc. to gain credit for free.

    All speculation of course :)

    99% sure its going to be to a 3 we-pay sim, the recipient would get 2p free credit for each text they recieve the next time they top up, so if they got 500 texts (worth £10 in free credit) then topped up £10 they would be credited with £20.

    Very old offer from 3 and has not been available to new customers for years so don'task where can i get one

    As for sending 400 texts in one go, there would be no logical reason why you would send the same message to the same person 400 times so there is no way to do it, also be careful as excessive texting like this can be regarded as spamming by your network and they may suspend your service and ask you why you are doing this.

    Loopholes are there to be played but play them too hard and they will put a stop to it

    As above, if you send that many the network will notice and want to know what you're doing and why. It could be classed as abuse of the service if your on a domestic acc.
