Ask HN: Help about SMS Gateway
3 comments
If you need to send SMS I highly suggest integrating Twilio to your site. Another one I have used is Nexmo. Either one can be integrated really pretty easily and only takes a short while. Plivo is another one I have heard about, but I know nothing about them.
You do not yourself need to be a SMS Gateway, in fact it is a royal pain, just use a quality service and integrate it. It does have a small nominal cost per SMS message, which you can see on each website.
Twilio provides libraries to integrate for common languages like node, Ruby, Java etc.

Depending on the load requirement, I have used NowSMS (nowsms.com) for some of my projects. NowSMS is pretty straight forward to use. For others, I wrote my own gateway using Smslib - that can be a pain though, depending on the phone you want to you.
The TextBelt API may be useful - http://textbelt.com/ - it was made by a software engineer at Google.
Thanks i like it, too bad it doesn't support my country.
We work on a website and we need to send daily sms to our website's contacts.
My question is:
Is this what we call as a SMS Gateway Service?
If Yes, can you give me examples and the best known Sms Gateway Services.
If No, what is the name of my solution and from where i can start?
Thank you.
