What is Bulk SMS? Complete Guide for Businesses in Bangladesh
Bulk SMS is the process of sending a large number of text messages simultaneously to a group of recipients. Unlike individual SMS messages, bulk SMS is designed for mass communication — reaching hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people at once.
How Does Bulk SMS Work?
When you send a bulk SMS campaign through a gateway like Zan Communication, your message is submitted to our platform, which routes it through direct carrier connections to reach every recipient's phone within seconds.
