Are you sure you want to do this over sms? Almost everyone has a smart phone these days and smart phones usually support push notification, which makes any messaging as integrated as receiving sms messages.
SMS is an archaic system with costs kept artificially high by telecom operators, there's no way around that except for doing your stuff over the internet.
- marquis 14y ago> Almost everyone has a smart phone these days In your social circles perhaps? Most of the world does emphatically not have a smart phone, and dumb phones still sell very well (more affordable and better battery life, for one). Go to any transport hub in Mexico for example and you won't find vendors hanging hundreds of styles of Androids and iPhones from their umbrella-shaded stands.
- ansgri 14y agoAnother point is that internet connection is unavailable just too often. I don't know of all world, but even in Moscow the connection in some districts is very unreliable. I'm not talking of 3G, but of any wireless internet. Wouldn't want a bank notify me of transactions with such unreliable means.
