[LRUG] Recommend UK SMS gateway for Rails app

[Ian Moss]

Twillio were great, and very helpful. Their API is a sinch to use.
However, establish what your target countries are. There's some which
you may have to revert to local providers with traditional HTTP
POSTs/etc to send messages, which will take you extra time if you're
used to the simplicity of Twillio. Nexmo have a slightly larger
country base, but I didn't get time to use them. Worth proving your
service in UK/USA/locally first, unless it's targeting a niche in a
country far away.

Hth, Ian.

Nexmo (https://www.nexmo.com/) is also probably worth a look at.
