Send SMS via Bulk XML API

We also offer a bulk XML interface for sending different messages to multiple recipients in bulk. This option is perfect for mail-merging text. We recommend no more than 500 tags in each submission.

echo $data; 
?>

Caution: Some users opt to place their request inside a code loop, while testing we highly recommend setting the test parameter to true, as occasionally an infinite loop can occur and users can consume all their credits very quickly.
