Up to 600 SMS messages per hour from the new product can be used for tasks such as basic notifications, situational alerting and advertising campaigns. The model SF100-G single port SMSFinder Server has a 20,000-entry address book, supports sorting, searching and group set-ups.

Mike Kydd, vice president of sales for Multi-Tech Systems, said: You probably are already familiar with SMS notifications as they relate to larger organizations such as airlines using sophisticated SMS servers to notify groups of customers when flight schedules change. On the SMB side, notification applications for SMSFinder might include letting customers know when items have arrived that were out-of-stock when purchased, rain-checked or special ordered.
