I'm not 100% sure how most people could use this service. While in Lithuania I could get unlimited text messages (to send inside the country) for less than 5 euros (that's probably like $6), I doubt it would go for long since the text messages would be one-way and they would block me.
Surely, all providers with cheapish text messaging plans would have clauses for commercial uses?
- This is not another messaging service, this is a software that powers such services.
- People could host this on their own and use it for their applications instead of opting for other such services if it suits their use cases
I do understand it - you stick your own SIM card to a GSM modem and use this application to send messages via it.
I'm just contemplating that most providers would not allow endless one-way text messaging. Unless you have some sort of a business plan that allows this sort of thing.
Just looking at some use cases where this could replace Twilio/Nexmo but it seems like you would just get blocked by the carrier if you tried to send quite a handful of text messages.
P.S. I have nothing against the app and I think it's wonderful and I just MIGHT use it sometime if I'll need to send messages inside my own country. And I'll probably get blocked but it might just be worth it as I could just swap SIM cards as I could get 3000SMS for about 2.5 euros. But that's some black stuff happening in my mind now!
