Suggestions for SMS rate

Post by johnfreephone »

Suggestions for SMS rate:

1. Receiving SMS FREE from all mobile.
2. Buy Credit for long distance, And also can be used for SMS
3. Send one SMS for $0.05 Max. $1.99/m

I think more people will buy Credit.

I agree with point 1.

The other 2 probably are not worth them setting up. The amount they would have to pay someone to initially set it up and them maintain it probably isn't worth the little they are probably making from it. There can't be much headroom @ 1.99/month (1.66 if you buy the 6 month option).

I think free incoming texts would get people using text on it more, and that is a good idea. After all most people will want to reply to a text if they receive one.

The Fongo Elves are working early today!

I've not tested this yet, but I believe it's a very good step forward.
