From: borje on 10 Mar 2010 14:11 Anyone knows anything about the sms service "smsbug.com"? It seems to have gone out of business. No customer support. Forum has been removed. No mail replies for about 4-5 months.

Just had a quick look, it's not cheap is it 4.5p, not sure if that's including VAT, and even if you give them �220 up front there is no discount. Also the user names of the "Top Users in last 24 hours" are given out on the home page, what's *that* all about. Does this service do stuff that the likes of smslisto.com dosn't? It's half the price. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

It doesn't seem to do anything anymore. We used to try to use their service for half a year, for company contacts, but it never work well. Very often only about 50% of our SMSs reached our clients. We tried to contact them but we still haven't had any answers to a lot of issues. Some of them as old as 4 years! About four months ago we tried the service again, since we still have credits remaining. Not one single sms reach the receipents. Smsbug hasn't yet bothered to answer our mails. The price 4.5p is only for the British site. At the international site the price is 3 eurocents. I've never manage to figure out the reason for the discrimination. There are other services, much more reliable and with working customers service.

When SWMBO worked from home using this office her boss insisted on installing "textmagic" on her PC even (I was not consulted) Just had a look at the website and �17.01 will buy you 200 credits (6.8p) Mind you, buying your credits in bulk will earn you a discount. If you hand over �3 grand (who would?) you get 50,000 credits (4.6p) Did I mention that smslisto.com charge 2.8p and you only need to give them 10.75 Euros at a time. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

It's installed on my phone, but I hadn't tried using it, beyond checking the balance of the 5 free trial messages I just did that again, got the balance in a few seconds, then sent a message which arrived in 3 or 4 seconds |
