<body><div style="font-family:Tahoma;">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.</div>
