I have a gateway of my own for delivering mass messages and it's true SMS. Others will use a method to determine the carrier by phone number, mark it with the @carier.com and deliver them. However, that is so flaky and non-successful and the often get blocked by the carriers.

Believe me when I say, SMS gateway is expensive. The short code alone is a butt load of money. This fee is pure BS and yet another Telephone born "fee" as they so love to come up with.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21248101 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:30:34 EDT Re: Hmmm.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21245404 wifi4milez :

I wasnt aware that most companies delivering text message alerts actually used an SMS gateway to do so. Isnt it much easier for them to simply set it up in email format (2125551212@yourcarrier.com) and send it that way? The message still arrives as a text message to the end user, and Verizon cant charge extra for it.
You can't get as much information into the txt message if you use the @vtext.com, because it shows the from: to: and subject: fields.
What if you leave them blank? Keep in mind an SMS can only have between 140 and 160 (roughly) characters, so its not like people are receiving lengthy messages anyway.
