      @scottalanmiller Perfect! Except for those prices! Ugh! Might be our only option.

        Works really well, at least 🙂

        We pair it with Skyetel around here.

          Is it really that expensive? Even at $199.99/month that doesn't sound unrealistic compared to the cost of having to pay someone to do this by hand.

            Textable IS for someone doing it by hand!

              Oh! Maybe I am looking at the wrong Textable, I didn't see where you can use your own sip provider.

                Right - I'm confused what Scott means by pairing it with Skyetel? to what end? The prices on Textable all say include 1 number or more

                  Well, this is depressing. You'd think they'd at least give me a list of non saturated area codes to choose from!

                    If doing manually, first have the "admin" use this website to determine the email to SMS address for the cell phone number in question:
                    https://freesmsgateway.info

                    Then compose an email using the above info.

                          Don't want e-mail. Want SMS.

                            Ahhhh!!!!!! This may work! Just need to see if you can send to a phone number without creating a contact first.

                            Postcards from Skyetel for Skyetel SIP!

                              @Dashrender got me, but that's who we use and it goes through our Skyetel trunk.

                                  Postcards basically looks just like Textable, but is free.

                                    OK huh - free? that seems unexpected... but, I'm guessing SMS between carriers is generally free nowadays... soooo....

                                        In that case - Assuming all of your customers are on carriers that have an email to SMS gateway - you can do this completely free through email.

                                        Now to discover that, you'll have to do some work - find what carriers are in use by your customers, then check for a gateway... that could be time consuming.. but hey - could really pay off with a free solution.
