Hi all,

Looking for some advice for a cheaper Twilio alternative. For context,

I developed a site for my family that’s in medicine, it texts her patients their daily dose of whatever their protocol is set to on her website. It’s been a staple with her patients now as the doses can be a lot to remember. We are currently using twilio, but with hundreds of patients each getting texts every day, the cost is starting to add up.

I bought an android phone, and an extra phone plan, and set up an SMS gateway there but got banned from the mobile provider after a day of sending the text alerts. Was optimistic about that plan and the cost savings, did not expect such a rapid ban like that.

Any way I can keep the cost down for this that isn’t Twilio?
