Mobile Industry Review: How to build an SMS notification app in 20 minutes

  • David Carrington · 1 year ago
    Does the lack of an incoming text charge make it less profitable to run a service like this in the UK?

    Ewan, it's a great example and something we'll certainly be throwing into the mix at our development meetings.

    We've recognised that demystifying the whole process for developers is key, though I have to say we do receive plenty of plaudits for the simplicity and performance of our APIs and SDKs already.

    Our developer site http://www.esendex.com/developers has been revamped over the last few months and we've made all of our SDKs open source so it's very easy for developers to see exactly how to get the best out of our service.

    We'll be launching a new web application in beta to our customers shortly and the great news for developers is that this is using the same API and SDK that any of our customers can use, giving them full access to the power of the Esendex platform.

    Along the same lines... How to make a homebrew SMS gateway out of an old phone and an old PC by yours truly. I reckon I've done this enough times to get it down to taking about 10 minutes not including installing the OS :P
