I think we'd need to start from the system that they need to tie to. Using what can it initiate this? Like does it send an email? Providing an SMS service for this might be moot if the software can't talk to it.
"So they are going to dedicate a person to sending txt appt reminders every day."
Their software doesn't do it, or anything like it.That's going to be a problem. I'd start there. You need a way to generate the communications before a way to transfer it.
Not for this approach. They are dedicating a person to do that part manually.
But isn't the point to replace that person?

Let me explain better.
Today's task is to find a simple user interface to allow sms through a voip provider.
I prefer two way sms'ing, but it is not mandatory.Oh, that's SO easy. Just use Textable.

Assuming that you always can, and you can't. So if you are okay with "sometimes", then yes.

@scottalanmiller Perfect! Except for those prices! Ugh! Might be our only option.

Works really well, at least
We pair it with Skyetel around here.
-
Is it really that expensive? Even at $199.99/month that doesn't sound unrealistic compared to the cost of having to pay someone to do this by hand.

Textable IS for someone doing it by hand!

Oh! Maybe I am looking at the wrong Textable, I didn't see where you can use your own sip provider.

Right - I'm confused what Scott means by pairing it with Skyetel? to what end? The prices on Textable all say include 1 number or more

Well, this is depressing. You'd think they'd at least give me a list of non saturated area codes to choose from!

If doing manually, first have the "admin" use this website to determine the email to SMS address for the cell phone number in question:
https://freesmsgateway.infoThen compose an email using the above info.

Don't want e-mail. Want SMS.

Ahhhh!!!!!! This may work! Just need to see if you can send to a phone number without creating a contact first.
Postcards from Skyetel for Skyetel SIP!

@Dashrender got me, but that's who we use and it goes through our Skyetel trunk.
-
@JasGot oh yeah, postcards!!

Postcards basically looks just like Textable, but is free.

OK huh - free? that seems unexpected... but, I'm guessing SMS between carriers is generally free nowadays... soooo....
