Wow, what a scam these telco's run. I suspect its a bit more
complicated that a standard personal mobile service, where you get
unlimited sms, but $1200... really!!
yeah and they have only been up about 1/2 the month - so I could
see 2000 - 3000 a month in the future
yeah - maybe a whatsapp or something - plus it would be easier
for the subs not in the US because Android SMS and iMessage is
really only a US thing - most of the world uses Whatsapp or WeChat
in China
I agree. That's a lot of monthly cost for the SMS service.
Definitely good idea to consider alternatives that would still be
timely at a more reasonable cost.

Yeah, surely no need to bear the cost for SMS. I'm on an
Android phone here in the UK and could get alerts for my linked
Googlemail account just as easily rather than SMS. Most people
would be in a similar position, I reckon?
Perhaps consider sending through Whatsapp? Or I am happy just to
receive email alerts, as I am not sitting at my desk all day to act
precisely on the alert.
It's all about cost/benefit ratio IMHO.
