Re: SMS / SMPP / WAP gateway + WO

Hi James,

I've used Clickatell in the past and it has worked well. For me they
had the most features and supported operators when I used them. They
have a range of API's all of which are easy to use. I used the XML
over HTTP Post one last time but there is an SMPP option for bulk
sending (I think). Cost wise I guess it depends on your volume and
where you are sending to and if you need a short code which I think
you do for USA. It should also get cheaper the more credits you
purchase.

Hope this helps.

John
