[dba-VB] Low Cost Worldwide SMS providers

Thank you, Borge.

Yes, that seems to be a good option to send SMS from computers but as I
noted here in my customer case "front-end" is a simple mobile phone they use
once a day (every day) to send just one SMS message - and that "front-ends"
can be located everywhere in this small world - and they wanted SMS sending
costs to be as low as possible - the companies as Clickatel
(http://www.clickatell.com/products/two_way.php ) AFAIU have special
agreements with many countries SMS providers to get local SMS messages sent
to special mobile numbers transferred to Clickatel servers where from they
can be retrieved many ways - now using computers...

Hi Shamil,
www.exetel.com.au
is an australian communications company.
They currently offer sms to local (Australian) numbers for A$0.05 per sms
International sms is A$.088 (8.8 cents)
They have an api so you can incorporate sending sms into your application.
check it out....
Their order form for (residential) low cost sms is
https://www.exetel.com.au/sms/sms_order1.php

This is for a pre-paid account - pay A$10 and test it out....

I am currently testing it out myself.

Regards
Borge Hansen,
Gold Coast, Australia
