[DUG] Sending SMSs

[David Brennan]

Hi,

 

It is a good question – does anyone have any recent experience with texting from apps? We are likely to want to head down that route soon. A google search will tell a lot but sometimes the actual real-world developer experience is hard to judge so any first hand tales would be great to hear.

 

Regards,

David.

@David - In the case of Vodafone it's not even a question of "fair use".  The standard terms covering Unlimited TXT services on Vodafone specifically and explicitly prohibit application-to-person messaging (among other things).  You would be in breach as soon as you send just 1 TXT of that sort, never mind a significant number of them.

I am sure the other telcos have similar provisions in their terms.

Until your mobile service provider decides your use is outside of "fair use" policies.  Good luck :)

Otherwise I've used Texta (back in late 2013, shop around things will be different now)  It was 500 messages for  $57.50 NZD.

Cheers

Hi Rohit, 

 

If I were you, I will develop an android app running on a low end android phone to act a sms gateway to send message using android phone. I guess that you only need to pay the sms message you are sending without any other fees. :-)

 

Regards

Leigh

We are using Message Media to send texts from our applications.  But
they are very expensive.  What are other people using ?
