Does anyone know of an service / api that lets you send a group message? I've been searching through Twilio's docs - seems like you can only send a message to one person.
Ideal use case:
[API Number] ----Sends Text----> (Friend 1 + Friend 2 + Friend 3)
And the result is a group message with 4 people in it - the three friends and the API.

d7networks.com is doing it with their RESTful API
========================================================
curl -X POST -H 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxx==' -d '{ "messages": [ { "to": [ "777771", "777772", "777773" ], "content": "Same content goes to 3 numbers", "from": "TEST" } ]
}' You can't do it exactly as you describe but you can build something that creates a group SMS where everyone is texting the same #. This blog post shows how to build a group messaging app like this with Meteor, MongoDB and Twilio.
As far as I can tell is the only sms api that supports group texting. You can see it in action at . Unfortunately their trial doesn't have access to this feature (the trial uses api v1 and this is a feature of api v2) and there's no easy way to sign up for an account.
