I mean, I'd have nothing against this if the submitter had asked for feedback/review or simply had used a more honest title. :/
It seems to be a simple, flexible version of TextMarks, without all the bullshit.
[edit] Yeah, you should publish the prices on the page. It appears to be 5¢ per SMS, or $25 for 500.
I think you mean 0.05$ not 0.05¢. There is a difference, and it's rather significant ($25/500 vs. $0.25/500).
The landing page or at least the "learn more" page should have answered these questions.
Here's my plug: we can deliver to the US and Canada, our prices start @ 5 cents an SMS and go down from there, we've got a memorable short code (313131) and we already support a lot of people through our API. http://www.eztexting.com/api.html
Interesting product, but your "How it works" page would be more comprehensible with a diagram or a flow chart.
This would be an excellent product if you need a short code, but $0.05 is a little steep for me. I'd rather use an email address (text@gumband.com for example) to send my SMS messages.
The situation is awful, and paints a nasty picture of what the web would look like if it were not for net neutrality.
Mobivity gives you simple marketing tools (voting, pre-defined messages to reply with, etc.).
1 More Keyword - $5.00
100 More Credits - $10.00
250 More Credits - $15.00
500 More Credits - $25.00yournumber@att.net
or something like that?
For one, you have to know the carrier (or I guess send the email to all of them, but I could see that getting you blacklisted or something). Also, I think I've heard that they're less reliable and can get slow when a lot of people are sending to them.
Also, I'm pretty sure you'd have to use something if you want a shortcode. Having them put in an email address, though it would work, is kind of ugly.
