    When you say you want to start an sms website what service do you intend to provide since that market can be attacked from several different angles. As far as sms gateway services I can list three that I know of right now and are reliable but whether they cover your area I don't know.

    textmagic.com, fastsms.co.uk (uk based) , and vozli.com hope that gets you started and thinking about what your business would be and who your target market is.

    Regards Ron

    Hello speedylikeskj

    Prices vary and you'll need to shop around the web to find the gateway of choice.

    Another way ids to give your competitors (in another niche or area) a call and ask them who they are using
    I have used this method successfully myself. Pointy out to them that there is abundant opportunities for all
    of us.

    Check out the best website there is out there for SMS advertising and have it cloned (with a twist of your own obviously)
    by outsourcing the work.

    Hope this helps a bit.

    Regards

    Timmyx

    Hello Ron etal

    I live in the UK myself and find textmagic and the others very expensive. Chcek out textmarketer.co.uk They boast to be the cheapest and guarantee it.

    Does anyone know of any gateway provider that combines email with sms? That is you collect the mobile and email address at source and can then schedule both emails and text to go out as many times as you want.

    Regards

    Timmyx
