New Features and upcoming REPLY feature!

Just a quick note to say thanks for your suggestions, we've improved the website:

  • send free SMS text messages to any North American number,
  • SMS are sent instantaneously (you must wait on the page until it says sent),
  • and we're looking for more feedback, details below!
How to setup free online SMS replies?
The next thing I'd like to hear from users about is how to implement replies?  Some of the people receiving your messages don't fully understand they cannot reply and I'd like to forward their replies to your email or on the website.  The only problem here is how to make it simple and still work when two people use the website to send messages to the same phone?  There are several ways to do this but I don't want it to be annoying, I find texting on a tiny phone annoying enough (hence the website) but it can't be prone to replying to the wrong person or preventing a reply because another message came in.

Want to become a 2pc SMS text messaging partner and make some money?
We're also looking for partners worldwide to join us in relaying text messages outside of North America.  The compensation is free targeted advertising for you or your clients (small link added to outgoing texts).  We don't spam or send unsolicited mail ever and all text messaging is confidential.  Advertising is limited to the website and text message.   Any interested professionals or businesses (preferably outside North America) are encouraged to use the feedback page to provide details and request additional information.

API for business will be available for general public this summer.  Feature requirements are welcome.
The business based API is currently being used by a commercial software application that monitors and trades in foreign exchange.  The business licenses the technology as a service and runs entirely on it's own hardware, all text messaging is secure and advertisement free.  We run everything for this client in our own office but the system can be deployed on location anywhere.  The cost is cheaper than any other messaging system available.  The system is scalable from a few hundred text messages a month to tens of thousands.  Suggestions on integration issues or questions are welcome.  Licensing is flexible and can be modified for your  needs.
