Amazing. Thanks and saved.

Okay, Stripe. Can I accept bitcoins and automatically convert them to USD? I need an instant conversion back to USD after the transaction so I don't lose money due to volatility. Does stripe let merchants auto-convert their Bitcoin payments to USD? This would solve the problem entirely and I'd be happy to pass the extra savings on to customers.

I could probably give about a 6% discount because I wouldn't take profit from the transaction savings.

In fact, given the fee is .05% of the transaction, this could be the first service to ever enable micropayments. Perfect for a lot of internet/new technology services. The key is to convert the customer's USD to bitcoin instantly, pay with bitcoin, and convert the received bitcoin back to USD instantly again.

Thanks for the info! How much would the cell phone plan cost that allows unlimited sms messaging?

Is there any reason to use twilio over something like this? Twilio costs 0.0075 / message

So to set something up that can send thousands of sms (not spam, part of an app) a day, all I would need is a modem, a server, and this app? Would I need a cell phone plan or something?
