Hi All

We are looking for a reasonably priced way to send SMS.  The pricing is crazy.  Anyone know of any service providers in New Zealand with capped and/or reasonable rates?

Thanks

I personally use email to sms services from

http://www.tnz.co.nz/Solutions/SMSSolutions/

 

you can also post directly to their system.

 

A small monthly charge, and 20c per txt.

 

A great reliable provider.

 

Kind regards

Michael

We've used clickatell in the past. The SMS gateways in NZ are ridiculously over priced comparatively.

Let me know if you find a good nz supplier.

I have used Clickatell in the past, and their pricing is very reasonable
and the API easy enough to work with. But we had ongoing delivery issues
sending to Telecom NZ and 2degrees - I found it just wasn't reliable
enough to be useful.

This was a couple of years back - does anyone know if things have
improved since?

Harvey.

Hi,

I've used Cardboardfish. They are reliable sending to all networks, but have lately been very unreliable when the number is ported.

P.S.: We're hiring - PHP Application Developer http://bit.ly/LFyA7X

Disclaimer: I used to work for Bulletin.

Have you tried Bulletin?  ( ex.Bulletin Wireless, ex. Jungle Drum ) ( 
http://www.bulletin.net/ ) at all?  Pricing was reasonable when compared 
to others, and the services offered were much better than what others 
were providing at the time.

It's been 3 years or so since I worked there so not sure what the 
markets like these days.

I can second this, Bulletin has been very good to work with. Their prices are not good enough for what my client is looking for (hence the stuffing around with Cardboardfish).


HTH, Jochen
