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.

@rrhoover we had chatted with Torenberg about it as well. :)

@rrhoover We hit up your CTO to figure out the country drop down plugin you use. Part of the inspiration for our tool was your widget :)

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!

@johnmurch thanks for posting us here. Brian and I were pleasantly surprised by the @producthunt staff in an email. Cheers!

Awesome. Have been looking for this exact service. Was searching on PH a few weeks ago.

@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!

@blaurenceclark @johnmurch I agree! I hated this not being a clean client side solution for marketing webpages! Thanks for making it so!

@johnmurch I might frame this. *tear*

Danny Espinoza
@blaurenceclark Love this idea, Brian; I'll definitely try it out.
Kumar Thangudu
@blaurenceclark @dannyjespinoza You ever try it out. ;) ?

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?
Brian Clark
@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.
Yury Lifshits
@datarade Thanks guys! All good, but it would be great if you add an option "don't show when out of credits". Alerts are bad experience )
Brian Clark
@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 :)

Been waiting for this, didn't feel like rolling my own. Well done. Wish it supported email.
