Ask HN: What service can I use to setup a number that receives text messages?

I'm working on a project and would like for my users to be able to send stuff via text message. What services/companies should I look at that would allow me to handle the data coming in?



http://www.twilio.com/

I haven't used them in production, but I've started playing around with their voice API and it's pretty neat.

Also, you get $30 credit (for free) when signing up for a test account, so that should be more than enough to fiddle with tests and get your integration up and running.


Twilio really does rock. Super easy to use and get started and there are other providers that provide Twilio API compatibility in case you ever need it.
