Any recommend a good SMS provider?

Anvil Q&A

We are looking for a USA SMS provider to send some basic alerts to us from our temp monitoring app.

Tried nexmo but couldn’t get it to deliver via the API or using the dev dashboard. This is to Verizon network in the US.

Will just have some logic that if TEMP is > 180 degrees, send us a static text alert.

Twilio was really easy to set up for me and pretty cheap!

There is even an example in the Anvil blog:

Thanks. Thats what I followed initially and setup nexmo. It was probably something I didnt configure correctly. Just found twilio and have it up and running with Anvil.

I agree. Happened to find it after this post and it worked well. No problem importing anything or hitting their API.

I use Twilio and Vonage (formerly Nexmo). Both work fine but you need to install vonage not nexmo. Also works great for phone calls.
