Hi
I've been using a service for quite some time which enables me to send an SMS from the web or from an email.
This is not an ad for a specific service. It's just something I find extremely useful in running my business- and it may have some use for people not in business as well.
The website I use is www.smsglobal.com.au - but there are others. I have used www.smsbroadcast.com.au in the past but they were more expensive. Other companies such as www.message-media.com.au, http://www.messagenet.com.au, and http://www.160.com.au/ provide a similar service. 160 appears to provide a cheaper service, followed by smsglobal, but their website was not working when I was investigating the last time. smsglobal charge 10c per message (less for large volumes); 160 start at just under 8c per message, going down to 6.25c when buying more than 2000 credits.
I've written up a brief cover of the service on my website. I'd be interested in comments.
I had thought that probably many people knew about this, but when I mentioned it to a number of people in the business recently, nobody had heard of it.
So I'd be interested in comments, on the usefulness of the service, and the usefulness of the instructions.
BTW I have had one time in the last year when messages were not sent promptly- but the backup support (by telephone) was good when that happened.
