My new little project aimed at taking the complication and expense out of programatically sending SMS messages.
I also can't seem to find the TechCrunch mention that's claimed at the bottom of the front page. Can you provide a link?
TC mentioned it here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/27/mobaganda-a-dead-simple...

I wanted to use the press mentions for ODF, since it's the exact same technology, which is why I mentioned "The PENNY SMS technology has been featured on"
Does it come off as bad form?
How do make money with such a low rate?
It's so much lower than what even the high volume gateways can afford that you're obviously not working on regular contracts.
Abusing their E-Mail/Web interfaces?
Sorry for coming across negative but I'm very wary about the reliablity here.
SMS sending is most often used for some sort of user-validation and usually during a critical phase of the conversion process (signup, transaction checkout etc.). Reliability is crucial at that point, which is why most SMS gateways offer fairly strict SLAs.
Do you provide any kind of guarantee that my penny transaction will result in an actual delivery? I'm asking because random hit & miss or "sorry, the t-mobile web sender was acting funny the other day" doesn't bring my lost customers back.
We are not abusing e-mail or web interfaces. We spent months getting contracts set up so we could access the same data that major cell carriers use to route their text messages.
For one cent a message, give it a try, I think your concerns will be remedied :)
