voipstunt.com sms charges up AGAIN

Well, at one time texts were free with voipstunt.com as long as you had
free days, but for a very long time I've had to pay for each, because
the apparently secret limit of how many free ones you can send has been
excluded.

But at least it was cheap. On 4th March, each text cost 0.01 euro to send

Then from 5th March the price doubled to 0.02 euro.

One the 27th March it went up to 0.03 euro.

So it is three times the price in just over three weeks. At this rate,
by Xmas it'll be cheaper to hire a limo to deliver a note in person!

And although it lets you send texts longer than 160 characters and
charges you for each component sms, often just the last one seems to arrive.

Think it's maybe time to look for another supplier.

If technical capability, speed and reliability are important then take a
look at http://aql.com/

Lots of APIs for sending SMS as well: http://aql.com/site/developerinfo.php

You can send flash and replaceable SMS with this gateway:

Take a look at vyke.co.uk
They have a nice interface that works well with some mobile phones,
particularly I find with my 6230i though I get so many inclusive texts
I don't need to use it. The advantage of their java program is that it
uses the phone's existing phone memory, unlike others where contacts
have to be entered in addtion.

Interesting response to someone complaining about rapid price rises to
suggest an alternative that is about ten times as expensive. But I'm
looking for something inexpensive.
