Why not do some research.
http://www.simplewire.com/store/platform/ The 'licence' grants you permission to use the system, provides a username and password to access it, and other associated tools, including the development kit for programming your solution, and also the module required by PHP to actually use it (note: You'll need to have your own server to make use of SimpleWire unless dynamic loading is enabled by your host). |

Have to ask my hoster about dynamic loading.
I looked at the site and doen't get - do I really have to pay for every SMS msg? If so, I'm out, I thought it's free. Is it, or is it not, or it depends?! |

It's not free. You pay for every single message. (The more you buy, the cheaper they are - from 5.7 cents to 2 cents a message) However, they do supply a fully integrated solution via their API which provides 2 way communication between your application and theirs including world-wide coverage and a service level agreement.
We charge our users for sending messages over the 50 free credits they get when they sign up, adding about 2.5 cents to the cost of the message meaning we make a very slight profit per message sent. You get what you pay for. Just depends how much you're willing to pay... |

CJi, the problem is - I'm willing to pay only once. Any solutions? I don't want to pay not even a penny for every SMS ... Solutions?!

None that I am aware of (that work everytime, and provide 2 way communication). I didn't look much further than SimpleWire because they offered everything we needed - except 27,500 lines of code .. but they just provide the API It costs the provider money to send the message, so I don't know why people have such an aversion to paying. An unsustainable business model leads to an unsustainable service.
Can't help ya, sorry. |

Oh, I see. It could work only once a week.
But can't pay for every msg. I'll be ruined. |

I'm now working on 2 way messaging for our users (give them a mobile number to send a text message to and it gets routed through our system then out to the desired member.) It's proving a very popular idea at the moment so it looks like another 7,000 lines of code will soon be going through my fingers.
Filbert is right .. you don't mind paying for vB each year, so what's the problem? Do what I do.. charge my members for every text message they send or receive, billing is automatic and sustains the service. |
