In a meeting about that right now. Jeremy and I make a texting solution for businesses that uses Skyetel on the backend. We have our first clients on it now.

We don't have a cool name for our product, yet. So we are open to anyone providing cool ideas. Yes we wanted to use Textastic, but sadly someone took that domain already.

Oh hi there, how goes it? Yep, as Scott said we do have our first clients working with our new texting platform.

@jaredbusch 8x8 has that functionality however I am not sure if the cost is too prohibitive for this customer.

so @scottalanmiller going to fork over any information? Or should I just look at the other services that no one has recommended?
This is something that will be done for this client.

Doesn't provide for the need at all. One, that's the carrier service, they don't handle texting. And two, that would lock in a phone service that might not be the desired carrier. (And of course, their prices are super high.)
It's a bit like asking who has a recommended car and say "why not take highway 35?"

Working on getting some screenshots for you. Initial pricing is $12 for a deployment. No idea if that's going to be the full release pricing, but it's where we are right now for early adopters.
