I was looking for something like this before we added the send-to-phone functionality on Product Hunt (if you're on the web, see the SMS button at the top). Instead @riccardoar whipped up our own homegrown solution using Twilio, but that took a fair amount of effort.
The other day I was working on a simple email prepopulate function using the mailto function, which is still is used today and thought, someone should create a smsto that has 2 fields, phone number and text, looks like LinkTexting did just that. Awesome stuff!
@blaurenceclark Love the product. I'd really like to integrate this with a few hobby apps that I have as well but $10/month is a bit steep for just hobby projects [the costs just rack up :) ]. Any possibility of simple SMS volume based pricing? Maybe $0 / month + higher per-SMS charges for such projects? Would love to hear thoughts if you considered it already!
A-maz-ing! Implemented in under a minute. Already live! http://get.tweecademy.com
Do SMS notifications work in all countries?
Do you show the form if I run out of credit?
Do I get email notifications when I run out of credits?
@yurylifshits Hey thanks for integrating!
1) SMS should work in just about every country
2) If you run out of credits the form will still show but it will pop up an alert box saying it is currently disabled
3) You will get an email when you drop below $1 in remaining credits!
@yurylifshits Hey Yury, I'm Brian's cofounder.
Thanks for integrating.
Consider moving the embed code above the photos in the center so that way you maximize the conversion.
Take a look at my friend Adam's. http://coride.co By moving it to the top and front and center , he was able to get much better conversion metrics.
@yurylifshits Noted! We just launched this two days ago and love the feedback! email me brian@linktexting.com and we can chat more on a good way to make this happen :)
