I really don't like google business services

Anyone know a good sms tool? I have been using Google voice, but I need some way to hit my list of real estate agents and google voice throttled me at 25 messages (even with the business plan!) and I currently have 700 i need to contact. 

I guess I'm looking at twilio? idk haven't used them before. We'll see how this goes.

Oh! Thank you for reaching out. 

That's actually why I am looking at twilio - I am a web developer...

*spent the last four years teaching myself how to code in my spare time* 

I like twilio because I can access the api and upload a simple csv and the cost per text is like .0072, which isn't awful. For my full 700 contacts its like $5.80 or something? 

My complaint with them right now is I am now required by law to add an "opt out" button? That's going to ruin my campaign, I just want to do a simple, "hey, i saw you on zillow" not like a multi touch thing. Idk, little mad about this, I may look for a different service that doesn't require opt outs. 


 I recommend checking into TCPA, CANSPAM, and other regulation/rules before doing anything crazy. This is being targeted right now by both regulators and class-action suits because everyone is being bombarded with cold-outreach spam.
