Hi guys!I know maybe this is not a best place to ask this but some of you might know this.I want to set up a company to provide sms quiz game with realy big prizes for mobile users but I don't want to spend a fortune on advertising.I'm thinking about to send a text message to every single mobile user in the UK.I found a way already,will cost me about £10000.Anyway,the problem is I need those (couple of millions) mobile numbers.I can not just make up numbers because that is not that easy.Any idea?
Thanks

Are you serious?
Sending unwanted sms messages to mobile phones (also known as SPAM) is really annoying to mobile phone users, and many countries are trying to make this illegal.
I suggest that if your quiz game is really good, you advertise it on some popular mobile forums and websites, and the word will soon spread as people tell thier friends.
Bugging millions of people who have no interest in playing a SMS game is not the way to do it.
Good luck with it anyway. |

@chrisfirst
Your approach of advertising your future company is wrong. Instead of spending all these money for sending sms you can advertise through other means like radio, tv, magazines, newspapers or internet. It will be cheaper and more effective to do so.
However if you still have your reasons of not advertising your company in that respect you can always ask from the mobile network providers the mobile numbers listings. Note that you will not get the mobile numbers that are "not to be listed".
