At 3 cents a message, my freemium service would go bankrupt fast. Twilio has way overestimated the value they provide. My guess is that AWS will be much cheaper, like 100x - 1000x cheaper.
- robryan 17y agoI thought the SMS problem was that the phone carriers apply higher fees to them?
- clammer 17y agoPerhaps Twilio does pay the carriers, but I send hundreds of text messages a day and pay nothing because I send it through their email to SMS gateway.
- johns 17y agoI'm a long time HN user that just started at Twilio so I'd love to talk to you about your app. Can you email me at jsheehan@twilio.com if you want to talk more?
- hesdeadjim 17y agoBlame the carriers, not Twilio.
