Hi,

This question is primarily aimed at UK warriors however feel free to add to it if you are from the rest of the world, lol.

Which SMS providers are you using for your offline clients? I was hoping to use Twilio/OpenVBX but from what I understand they do not cater for the UK, which is a real shame as the set up and costs look good.

Any advice on who to use, prices and what you generally charge clients would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Scott

  Haven't tried them yet, but this company was recommended to me recently by a marketer who does use them: Bulk SMS Mobile Marketing By Text Marketer

Another good UK based provider which has word wide coverage is sourcesms.com. If you’re sending messages to subscribers within the UK, you want to be sure that’s where the text message originates from.

  Hello Scitknot9,
  
  I recommend you hqsms.com - it's internationnal SMS provider that specialize in bulk SMS and SMS notices services.
  They charge ONLY for sent SMS. You can buy credits by pay-as-you-go options (minimal purchase is 30 euro). Currently they are offering price 0,029 euro /SMS to UK.
  I'm using then and they seems to reliable and cost effective
  
  Thanks
