A batch templating system with it's own (very simple) keyword language for
sending personalised messages to multiple recipients.

Something like:

Dear %name{1}, it is a pleasure to be sending a message to you.  I note that
your number is %msisdn, the current time here is %time and the current date
is %date.

It would be important to be able to split input fields by " " (as %name{1}
above is supposed to be an example of) or some other regex for 2 reasons:

1) SMSs are limited of space and full names are usually not necessary.
2) The 2 most common beginnings to SMS's I can imaging for this are:
a) Informal: Dear Kent (Dear %name{1})
b) Formal: Dear Mr Martin (Dear %name{2})
