Hey everybody!

smsMail allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe to updates via text, just like the numerous services that are expensive. I developed this for my college church group to be able to more easily send messages to everyone. Please let me know what you think! Comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism are always appreciated.

Hey there!

This will sort of work, but you will for sure experience deliverability issues. Thats why Plivo and Twilio exist; you need to interface directly with SMS gateways to ensure all of your SMS broadcasts will reach their recipients.

Any thought to simply using an email list instead?
