Today we will tell you about free program for spam messages to your phone. It's called SMS Bomber and is suitable for spam to Russian cell numbers. All you need to get started is download and launch the software, enter the “victim’s” phone number, indicate the number of messages and click “Start”. You can use this software against competitors, ill-wishers, or simply to prank friends. I also heard that using this software some people make money from spam services. You can try this direction of earning money using the information from the article on making money by promoting accounts in social networks.
Features of the SMS Bomber program:
- Free software
- Does not require work skills
- It is possible to launch several windows at once
- Sends out a newsletter immediately after the start
- Simple and intuitive interface
How does SMS Bomber work?
The principle of operation of this program is that messages are sent to the specified number from various services on which accounts are being restored/registered. There are 8 such services in total. Each of them receives a request after you click "Start". Within one minute, the “victim” number will receive a large number of messages and even often receives an incoming call.
How to start spamming SMS? Setting up SMS Bomber
Unpack the archive and open "smsMoBomber.exe". Now it is necessary to make very easy setup of this program. To do this, enter the values in the fields:
VIRT field- indicate the number of messages that will be sent from each service separately.
TIME field- time in milliseconds between sending SMS (delay).
Field REAL- this is the number of messages actually sent simultaneously from all services.
Now write the number (to which you want to send spam) in the field under the program logo. Mark all services using checkboxes and click "Start". The job is done, the messages have been sent!
1. Using email-to-sms gateways
Mobile operators have the opportunity to create an address like [email protected], and link it to a phone number.
When a letter arrives at this number, it will automatically turn into an SMS. Therefore, this method is only suitable if you want to send SMS messages to people you know, who, at your request, will create such addresses. Well, or according to your employees, who will create such addresses on your order.
2. Using free SMS sending forms on operator websites
The websites of MTS, Megafon, and Beeline have forms for sending free SMS. And they can indeed be used for mass mailing, but mobile operators do not allow you to do this - there are restrictions on sending SMS from one IP address, you need to enter a captcha, and so on - in general, it is quite difficult to automate this process, and you can only use these forms manually and for very small volumes.
3. GSM modem + cheap SIM card
From some operators, especially regional ones, you can buy SIM cards without a limit for sending SMS. Therefore, theoretically, you can buy a GSM modem, connect a program for sending mass SMS to it, and send SMS almost for free.
But, however, the operators cellular communications block such attempts. After sending several dozen SMS in a short period of time, the SIM card is usually blocked.
4. Your own SMS center
Until recently, it was possible to send SMS for free by creating your own SMS center. All cellular operators are united by one OX-7 network, which is why any subscriber can send SMS or call from Beeline to Megafon or even to any foreign operator.
Therefore, it was possible to buy a special software, install it on the server, pass the necessary certifications, connect the server to SS7 and send SMS to any operators for free. That's why until recently it was possible to send SMS very quickly low prices, up to 2 kopecks.
But since November 2013, this method has stopped working. All operators now accept SMS only through their own direct connections, and charge much more money for this. For example, Megafon has a minimum price of 30 kopecks, and to get this price, you need to send at least 150,000,000 (one hundred and fifty million) SMS per month.
In general, on this moment It is impossible to send mass SMS messages to strangers for free.
Is your mobile phone next to you right now? If you receive an SMS, will you read it immediately?
Personalization can also help with statistics. Send different promotional codes to different segments and find out which group of users had a higher conversion.
Automate
We have already talked about what time of day is best for sending. But timeliness is also important. and always test how long it takes to deliver. This way you won’t be late to congratulate them on their birthday or notify them about the end of the promotion.
You cannot send SMS if the client has not agreed to it
There are laws on advertising and personal data protection in almost every country. According to the law, just because you have a phone number does not mean that you can send advertising to it. To do this, the client's explicit consent must be obtained.
Andrey ordered a book from an online store that was out of stock. He left his number to find out when the book would be in stock. The store sent him this alert and then began sending him promotional offers. Andrey complained to the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation about a violation of the law on advertising, and now the store, as a legal entity, faces a fine of 100 thousand to 500 thousand rubles.
Advertising cannot be sent to numbers from purchased databases, found on the Internet, specified during registration or to notify about the status of the order. Roughly speaking, you should ask the person: “Can I send you advertising on mobile phone?”, and he must agree.
This is how it is presented on the website of the operator Dyulatur. Not too elegant, but everything is according to the law.
Consent to mailings can be obtained in different ways; the methods are not prescribed by law. A separate checkbox can be added to registration forms: for example, when a person registers on a website or in a loyalty program. You should not hide your consent to the newsletter in user agreement, which usually few people read. This is a cunning move, but unprofitable - SMS advertising, which you didn’t seem to agree to, is usually sent to spam.
Examples of successful SMS campaigns
The Podruzhka cosmetics store knows how to send SMS correctly. Alpha name is the name of the store. Newsletter - just one message per month, which contains information about the discount. One of the discounts is personalized, which is nice. At the same time, several promotions are constantly running on the store’s website, but they are not notified about them via SMS. Their marketer knows that spamming is bad and has chosen this strategy.
An example of a good SMS newsletter from the Podruzhka store Not a bad newsletter from the La Redoute store. Everything is also fine with the name and content, there is a message with a short link to the discount section. The only negative is that two messages came one after another, on September 4 and 5. This may seem intrusive.
An example of a good SMS newsletter from the La Redoute store An ideal SMS newsletter arrives only after a person has agreed to receive it. The sender has a short, recognizable name, and the messages themselves are small, neatly written, and in the recipient's language, addressing them by name.
The newsletter does not arrive often, once a week or less. She talks only about the most interesting offers that are relevant to the client’s needs. If a person does not want to receive the newsletter, he can easily unsubscribe from it in several ways.
And expect high conversions. And SendPulse will make sure that your messages reach almost any country in the world!

I registered in all services quite quickly. Interface design is a matter of taste; the main thing is that the interface is intuitive, and the user does not have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to navigate the site.
The SMS Aero interface is simple and clean.
RED SMS. Also a clear interface. My attention was immediately drawn to the need to conclude an agreement and change the tariffs.
SMSint.ru. The interface is a little overloaded with congratulations and thanks.
SMS services. The interface is very similar to SMSint.ru. The news on the right side of the page is a little distracting, but overall everything is clear.
SMS RU. Too many tabs, spent a lot of time determining whether I needed all these functions or not.
SMS Center It’s convenient that you can register through social networks, but I didn’t figure out the navigation right away.
conclusions
News and greetings in interfaces are informative, but can distract and irritate the user. The simpler and clearer interface- the more convenient it is to use the service.
Testing the newsletter
SMS Aero
The service provides a preview of the message and the ability to immediately edit the text.
Below I add my number to the “Add custom numbers” tab. Numbers can be added manually (duplicates are automatically deleted, and the rest are brought into a single form) or loaded into the database.
To change the sender's signature, you need to enter legal information about the organization. I don’t have an organization, so we’ll leave it as a test one. I'm sending a message.
My test message was sent for moderation, and 2 minutes later it arrived on my phone.
Pros:
- The service is focused on providing two types of mailings - SMS and Viber, there is no unnecessary information. You can master the service and create your first newsletter in a few minutes.

- There is no service fee for active clients and no commission from payment systems when replenishing an account.
Minuses:
- There are no other types of mailings (for example, Email or Voice) and additional products not related to the creation of mailings - the same online chat for consulting clients on the site).
- To disable moderation of service messages, you must enter into an agreement.
RED SMS
For testing, the service provides 20 rubles per account. Since I did not enter into an agreement, the service did not provide full functionality, and during testing I was unable to type my text in the message.

SMSint.ru
I have 12 rubles in my account in order to check the SMS newsletter. I type a message and indicate my phone number in the “Recipients” column. In the right corner there is a warning - message moderation from 05:00 to 00:00 (Moscow time). It’s 11 a.m. Moscow time, which means the message will be checked quickly. I send it and find out that it’s mine Account blocked.
I wrote to technical support. They told me that I missed a call from the manager and therefore my account was blocked. Very harsh, I think. She asked to be unblocked, the request was fulfilled, but only the word “Test” was allowed to be written in the message. I had to obey.
A couple of minutes later a message arrived on the phone.
Pros:
- After registering, I received an email in which technical support asked if I understood all the functions. The service operates 24 hours a day.
- Additional function for integration into the client's website Me-Talk for online consultations with clients.
Minuses:
- It was unexpected when the account was blocked due to a missed call. The website does not indicate that you must contact the manager.
- No HLR requests. There is no way to check the availability of a number and whether it belongs to a specific cellular operator without disturbing the subscriber with a call.
- Before sending, I can see what the message will look like, but to edit it, I need to go back to the previous page.
- No 24/7 moderation.
- There is no SMS+Viber function.
SMS services
So, I have 33 rubles in my account. I'm creating a test message. The moderation service does not work 24 hours a day, but they warn about the moderation mode.
I'm testing sending a message.

I filled out the form and received 15 rubles into my account.
Minuses:
- Before testing the service, you have to fill out a mandatory form.
- There is no SMS+Viber function.
SMS RU
I have 10 rubles in my account from the service, let’s start testing.
You can't see what a message looks like before it's sent. Moderation went quickly, a message arrived on the phone within a couple of minutes. The money for it was not debited from my account.
To be honest, this service was the most difficult for me to figure out. The interface is quite confusing. From 12/01/2017 the service works only with SMS mailings. Technical support does not work at night or on weekends.
Conclusion
Based on my research, I have compiled a list of features that, in my opinion, a quality SMS service should have:
- Flexible and transparent tariff schedule - so I can choose favorable tariff and accurately calculate your budget.
- 24-hour technical support and moderation - to ask an urgent question, get an answer instantly and send a newsletter right away, rather than waiting for the morning or a new work week.
- SMS+Viber - so that all clients receive messages, and I can optimize costs.
- Preview the message in the same window with the editor - to see what my SMS will look like and immediately edit if you don’t like something.
- Simple testing of the service - to evaluate an unfamiliar service and not waste money and time on it.
- HLR requests - to check the collected database and not waste money on inactive contacts.
For those who were unable to complete the entire review, I compiled a table with the main characteristics of the services and the testing results.
