<div dir="ltr">Full disclosure: I used to work for Telstra supporting the OnlineSMS service, many years ago.<br><br>Hey Nathan,<br><br>I'm not a huge Telstra fan, however the OnlineSMS service is pretty awesome. The API is pretty clean and well documented, there are bulk pricing discounts and you have a decent GUI you can use for address books, receiving messages, etc.<br>
<br>The only problem I am aware of (which may no longer be the case) is support is pretty lax. I worked in WDCS level 3 in Telstra, and apparently we were the support team for OnlineSMS. Unfortunately we had 0 training on it and had to learn on the job. That being said, this may be completely different now.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are presently using ExeTEL for SMS Services for our customers and for integration into our management and customer systems using their API but the delay in there text messages being dispatched is painful and we are getting down alerts
for services a minute after they have actually come back online and I will eventually break my iPhone if I have to keep waiting for tokens for two factor authentication.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for recommendations for SMS services that people are using which people know meet the type of requirements we have in this industry. My main concerns are price per message, API functionality and reliability and prompt delivery
of messages.<u></u><u></u></p>
