TXT to Email

I have a need to be able text all our UK work users in case of emergency via their personal mobile phone.  

Whats the best and cheapest way to mass email to txt?  

We do have a corporate Exchange system that could be used for the initial email.

All you need is a email group and the email address for each of the cell phones you will be sending a text/SMS to.

Thanks

One of the new Client Access Role features of Exchange 2010 is SMS messaging. Which Exchange server do you have? You can configure Acticesync to your Exchange 2010 CAS server for this purpose. Please read: http://blog.chrislehr.com/2009/11/exchange-2010-outlook-mobile-61-and.htm
