Here, we've tested in the past zimsms, but now the,re closed. We founded out that the most reliable and cost-effective way to send sms is with GPRS modem. Multitech manufacures excelent quality product for gprs, edge and others.
So we opened up an sms-only acount, it costs us 10$ / month for 1000 sms sent, plus 10c each after, plus some other fees like 911 fees, etc. We generelay sent no more than a couple hundeds. With this modem hookup-up to a serial port, and a little program assuring the sending / receiving of sms (sms_link from Sourceforge)., and voilà ! Here in Canada, all cellular providers are hooked-up one to another for passing of sms', so I send out my sms' with Rogers, but any user in any network receives it in about 1 to 5 seconds. I don't know if it's the same in the US or other countries. If you have more questions about the specifics, you can contact me.
