How we have been doing this for the past 5 years is to let Peachtree do the accounting. We charge $3.00 per Month per SMS Device or Alphanumeric Pager on a yearly contract. We just educate the end-user that they are responsible for any additional SMS charges on their bill if they go over the providers daily limit as we just provide the gateway for co-workers to send text messages to the device which is alot easier than decoding a numeric page.
The Application I wrote has 551 Devices configured and has sent 33035 Web Based Messages and 4598 Email Messages to these devices since July 1, 2004. The application is Powered by CFMX and MySQL with a Flash Frontend.
