Intro
Group SMS & Voice application is a standalone application that enables you to send bulk SMS or Voice messages to groups of people. The application is built using Codeigniter and Bootstrap CSS framework. The application is deeply integrated into Twilio’s API which handles the SMS and Voice communications.
Great application for businesses that need to contact people or staff with the same message. The app also logs if a user has received or answered a call / received a SMS. This application can be setup in minutes self contained on your server or I can setup & host it for you for on appfog.com NOW FREE with every purchase.

Notes:
NOTE: This application is built with CodeIgniter and you will need knowledge of this framework to get things setup as some servers require settings changes etc. I will be happy to assist up to a point as I can’t possibly support all types of server setups.
