The pricing varies according to the number of SMS you pre-pay.
Most solutions offer some kind of API that you can plug your scripts into.

i know ya blacknight,

but prices can differ for say the purchase of 10,000 sms's.
just checking to see if anyone had any good/bad experiences with any solution.

Those API's are handy indeed - I have just completed a web front end for the SMS solution i use at the moment

We are using a very handy API and are also offering it to our clients. The pricing of course varies depending on the number of SMS involved, but that is beyond our control

I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for but I know a couple of businesses who were very impressed by the services they received from http://www.phorest.com/.

ie. contact blacknight directly for more info

Further to your initial question, have a search through the wireless and mobiles/PDAs boards - more likely spot for answers.

Drop www.loop-solutions.com a mail, I am dealing with them for the numbers and bulk sending solutions, they have got any sms stuff on their homepage but I found they knew their stuff when dealing with them.

Getting numbers is very expensive.

The way it usually works is you have a provider who has a number, and they offer you keywords on that number, so you can run a number of services on it if you like.
