yep. can't beat openvbx and Twilio. Once you learn how to construct custom flows for clients, you can make nice profits. I have a pizza place that now has 560 on their list since april. I charge $149 per month for 501-1000 subscribers, and they send out 2 texts per month tops. so it costs me about 11 bucks, and I make $149. And its all on autopilot because I set it up so that the sales manager sends out the texts from his cell phone. there are other solutions, but I've found openvbx to be the best for what I want to do.

Thanks

hey, can you share how to setup up using openvbx and twilio instead of using shortcode service?

Thanks

  I'd also love to get that video as I need to set up SMS in the near future as well.
  
  Is anyone doing appointment reminders via Twilio? I want to know if there is a way to allow clients to send their own daily appointment reminders or if this is something I would be better suited for since the texts would only go to specific numbers rather than the whole list.
  
  Thanks
