Did anyone find the pricing for MMS on their site?
- mfenniak 13y agoReliable Pricing: Send pictures for 2¢/message and receive pictures for just 1¢/message. Storage: Store 5GB of pictures you send and receive for free, then just 20¢ per additional GB.
- 404error 13y agoThanks, I scanned over that section and missed it.
- toomuchtodo 13y ago20 cents a GB? ick.
- mfenniak 13y agoThat is a pretty steep rate, but I figure you'd treat their storage like an "INBOX" and grab images through the API and put it into your own persistent storage. So, the 5GB free component should probably cover a good number of use-cases.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI guess. Still feels like you're getting gouged when you know they're getting discounted S3 storage rates based on their utilization.
- RobSpectre 13y agoFully heard and appreciated. Obviously, the storage of this media does have real cost, but feedback on the pricepoint is helpful. Thank you.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoThanks Rob. I understand you have costs, but with both compute and storage prices plummeting, it stands out when you have an outlier like that.
- kordless 13y agoThey wrote the code, run the servers, pay for the storage, pay the telcos, pay the employees, have investors who want a return on their money, etc., etc.. In other words, they have actual costs associated with providing a needed service to those of us who don't want to implement it ourselves.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoSo I can't have the opinion that their price for something is exorbitant just because they're a business that has costs? What world do you live in?
- sologoub 13y agoThink of this as a 5GB cache :)
