Unlimited SMS mobile plans versus SMS APIs
Hi, considering the fact that all SMS APIs (for application development) out there only offer pay-as-you-go SMS plans (scaling with SMS volume), does a mobile phone with unlimited SMS really has unlimited SMS ? Would I get blocked trying to send 1 million SMS segments per months ? If not, instead of using an SMS API (let's say Twilio) with a pay-as-you-go plan that would cost around 400$/month to handle around 50k SMS (and scaling), I could get a mobile plan with unlimited SMS and connect the phone to my server to automatically handle these 50k+ SMS for only ~34$/month. I must be missing something...
email to sms gateway... not active
Since switching from Rogers to Videotron, I've stopped recieving texts from a company that uses an email to sms gateway. After some research and being on the phone with videotron, it seems they had one for a while but then turned it off. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thougthts? Comments? If I can't get these texts, I can't continue with videotron. I've filed a complaint requesting that they turn this feature on, as it seem like all other providers have it. If anyone else would like it turned on, I encourage you to use the complaint form and suggest it. https://www.videotron.com/vcom-ext/secur/forms/Courriel?domain=sac&produit=16&question=145 Thanks, Charles
