You should change the way the rates are displayed.
When I saw 5$ (p/m), I thought it was Per Message. And I instantly closed the window.
Later on I came back just to check for another country, and noticed on another page that it was per month.
The text should literally read "Price (USD per month)". Then it will be clear, unambiguous, and obviate the need for the snippet at the bottom about "$USD" (which is not a standard notation).
I worked for Verint some years ago, still have friends that do and they all laughed at that presentation saying it's about 10 years out of date :)
The "commercial" tracking solutions are hardly as clandestine as people might think, their major consumers are the cell companies themselves. As their systems were never designed to facilitate easy tracking and interception they use those for anything from identifying cloned phones to facilitating court ordered wire taps.
For the most part the capabilities of these systems without an active participation from the carrier are minimal.
I am bit sceptical. I would not trust phone number associated with my bank account to similar service. Also double or even triple sim phones are very cheap and can recieve text globaly.
If you change providers, don't change the price. It seems people are willing to pay the current rate and if anything I would experiment with charging more whilst getting your costs down!
I must be missing something. I receive texts from my bank on my Norwegian number where ever I am in the world. The Nomad SMS web page doesn't explain why there is a problem.
Hi! If you didn't have your Norwegian sim card in your phone though, you wouldn't be able to receive it. Also some people don't have a local sim card (eg. I travel around Asia, no sim from Australia) and those that do may have to pay global roaming charges to receive SMSes. I should probably explain the need for it a bit better. Thanks for checking it out :)
Yeah, might be good to explain the reasoning. Coming from the UK, I've never heard of pricing to receive a message, we just don't have it, and I believe it's actually banned, as the user doesn't have the choice in receiving a message (unlike a call which they can just not answer).
Spaniard living in Belgium for 3 years. For every purchase I make online with my Spanish card (issued by a Spanish bank), if I don't receive the code into a Spanish phone number, there is no other way of receiving it. I might start using this! :)
Not true. I'm in Vietnam right now and SMSes from my Czech (Vodafone) number are not going through. I believe I have roaming set properly up and my Czech SIM is properly connected to a local operator. I had never similar problem when traveling abroad. SMSes always worked just fine.
I am really excited for this service. I tend to pack up and move every 6 months to a new country so things like online banking and what not are generally a bit of a pain in the ass and require me to carry around multiple hard tokens. This could well be the end of that which would be a huge help.
I've heard that but just US people for a US number. Anyway, the issue was that I (Australian) couldn't get an Australian number :) Thanks for checking it out!
Let me get this straight... I rent a number from you in another country. I can give this number out as my own so that others can send me a text. The text gets forwarded from the rented number to my email. Is this correct?
If so, I can already think of a couple of ways that it could come in handy.
If I was you I wouldn't link to the page where you explain how you created the product.
It might turn potential customers off that you created it only in 3 days. Also, when they know you used twillo as a backend, they can check out exactly how much you profit you are making.
I don't know, the number displayed that way is wrong. With Lithuania for example you don't display +370 86 instead of +370 6 although locally the number would be 86 like an austrian local number would be 0676...

But I highly recommend you change:
Pricing (p/m)
to :
Pricing (per month)
