It will be interesting to see how the economics of that one shake out. Even if Zeep is down to 1 cent per SMS, that's still a $10 cpm just to get even.
asking the user to sign up with zeep!...dont know how many users would be comfortable with giving away their phone number to a third party
Cliff's notes catch:
"..in order to monetize the service, it will insert ads into the SMS messages."
"..in order to monetize the service, it will insert ads into the SMS messages."
-inserts ads
-your users must signup via the zeep mobile panel
-all messages are sent and received from the zeep shortcode
that being said, there are no volume restrictions, and free is a powerful motivator, especially for side projects or hobby apps.
