Python SMS API: Zeep Mobile (zeepmobile.com)

The "catch" being: "Zeep Mobile supports this service by attaching 40-character teaser advertisements to each message sent to your users' mobile phones. Your users have the option to respond with the appropriate trigger word to receive more information about the advertisement."

I'm not sure what this has over http://www.textmarks.com/ -- which seems more flexible and has been recommended here (mind you, I haven't used TM so maybe they send out ads too -- but there seems to be nearly 1000 apps running of TM already).


Not sure if these guys read HN, but in case they do I have advice: read the tmobile playbook right now or be prepared to enter a world of hurt.


This is interesting. I wish I had something like this 5 years ago. I think Internet phones will eventually destroy SMS.


this is great news. congrats! hopefully if this works out you expand as a service and allow organizations to acquire their own shortcodes/numbers. if you can abstract the nonsense and provide a robust api i think you have a win.
