I worked on a project in Uganda for using bulk sms via multiple carriers as

Where is your application? Who are your users? What kind of volumes are you

It's up to Richard to help us to help him at this point, like by describing
what "bulk" means.
A raspi with a gsm modem yields only a few texts per minute, typically, and

Richard, can you further define "exotic"? To whom? Some further
information about your application would help, too.
