If you would like to make a general announcement to several people at one time, then it is easiest to send a mobile text as a broadcast, rather than having to send out individual messages. Most phones have this feature built in already, and it will allow you to send a message to up to 20 people at a time. If you don't have this feature or want to send out a broadcast to more people, then you can opt to use software and send out a broadcast from your computer.
