Thread: SMS Gateways

I've been able to get a useable signal in BSQ1, Redbus Mer, IPHouse, only know because I've received calls in all of them.

Bulksms.co.uk are the cheapest I've come across and their features look pretty good. I did a couple of test messages today and got both the message and the reply in a few seconds. They've got HTTP and email APIs. Has anyone tried them recently?

TextAnywhere are working nicely for us.

No problems at all in a rack in Meridian... not tried the gsm modems elsewhere though. I know T-mobile 3G is (or rather was.. not tried for a while) pretty ropey in BSQ3 though, but not sure about GSM. Should be ok.. signal is fine on orange

I would have to recommend aql.com. I have been using there services since they started back in 2000. The developer support is head and shoulders above anyone else! Only company with phone support too!

I like the look of their inbound stuff - do you have any experience with that? If not which particular services of theirs are you using?

We know the chaps at AQL pretty well, if you aren't making any progress via normal sales channels and such, drop me a line and I'll pass your details to their MD..
