SMS Business Advice Help

Hey guys,

Well I am thinking about putting up a rather small site to cater to businesses to run sms campaigns. I was going to go the route of email -> sms being thats it will only be in the US and I wouldn't need a real sms gateway. I know of a few places now that are doing something similar: smseverywhere.com and teleflip.com - Both to my understanding send via email to the carrier, which then converts into a sms to the end user. My main concern is intentional spam by clients who may user my service and how to protect myself.

Teleflip for instance is a free service you send an email to and it instantly gets sent to the phone user. I guess they can limit how many per sends per ip and per email, but Im guessing there has to be a good amount of unsolicited email -> sms being sent. smseverywhere.com is running a similar service but is not free, due to them adding a bunch of front-end features/goodies.

So if anyone has any advice for me I would appreciate it. My service would be small and nothing major, like 100,000 sends a day.

Thank Guys

Hi
You can not stop the spam and even you might think it is spam your client who uses your sms system would argue that it is not spam.
