      What services/app have you used, and did you like it?

      Let me explain better.

      Today's task is to find a simple user interface to allow sms through a voip provider.
      I prefer two way sms'ing, but it is not mandatory.

      Oh, that's SO easy. Just use Textable.

        why pay for a service when he can do it via email?

          Assuming that you always can, and you can't. So if you are okay with "sometimes", then yes.

            @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.

                                  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!

                                        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....
