Hi,
I'm testing a service I put together quickly: for
0.50 BTC you can send a SMS
anywhere in the world.
I implemented a small "wallet" where you can load & unload bitcoins easily (without any fee, of course) and a really limited interface (you'll soon see how bad I am at design).
NB: Loading coins to the wallet will wait for 3 confirmations (~30 min).
URL: http://smsz.net/Missing features:- View status of previously sent SMS, including transfer status
- Change password/email page
- Longer messages (will bill 0.5BTC * ceil(length_of_message / 160))
- Ability to send messages coming from your own phone number (you put your phone number, pay 0.5BTC, receive a code by SMS you then enter on the site and voila)
- Phone number book
- When entering the destination phone number, the input should be prefixed of country list with number prefix (need to find a database with country iso code -> country phone code list)
- Feature for payments (generate payment urls compatible with mobile phones?)
Anyway before spending more time on that, some feedback would be welcome.
Remember to enter numbers in international format (+.)!! Even if you make a mistake in the number, the SMS will be sent to the gateway and you'll be billed anyway.
Oh and if you are interested in sending large amount of SMS I can put together an API too
