Honestly, I don't work with the financial portions of this. I found pricing on the old simplewire site (http://www.simplewire.com/store/platform/) where they offered both per message pricing as well as dedicated pricing plans so I assume that OpenMarket manages pricing in a similar fashion. The beauty of working with an aggregator is that you don't have to worry about talking to each carrier directly; the aggregator manages getting your SMS onto the carrier's network (including 2-way, MMS, Premium SMS, etc). The problem is that they charge for this service. There are some resources out there for a DIY approach. One such approach is based on email. Most carriers have an email address tagged to each mobile number ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example), and your application could simply only support carriers that you define and when a user inputs their phone number, they must specify their carrier. Then you simply email alerts to their mobile.
