Possibly the best *.github.io page i've ever seen. Great work!

Nearly all numbers are supported. The only numbers we can’t text enable are Bandwidth.com numbers, but that should be resolved in the coming months.

Good question! No, using Pigeon SMS does not require porting the number. We’ve partnered with upstream carriers to add sms while leaving the voice component intact.

Hi HN! I made Pigeon SMS to help businesses reach more customers how they want to be reached. You can add text messaging to virtually any landline in ~5 mins with our fully automated signup. You then get awesome features like:

- Two way sms

- Groups

- Keywords

- Auto responders

- Templates

- Scheduled messages

- Website widget

- Geo based message

- Webhooks

- Lots of other cool stuff

Check out our site. I would love feedback on our landing page and video. I’ll keep an eye on the thread for any questions :)

If you're a developer interested in Elixir, check out https://elixirforum.com. It is such an inclusive community and I find most people on there to be quite genuine!

BEAM is amazing. The scaling is insane. I built a business texting platform using it (https://pigeonsms.com).

As we brought on our first few customers I kept expecting we would need to increase our hosting capacity. Here we are 2 years later and we are still running the whole thing with our initial hosting setup.

It really depends on use case. They all have their pros and cons.

It can be difficult for sure. Trial and error mostly.

Nice. I’ll send you a message.

Very nice! I posted on the other thread about pigeonsms.com. It’s built 100% in Elixir with Phoenix framework.

If you’re ever looking for a collab or another content creator for elixir courses it’s something I’ve been thinking of getting in to. HMU if you want to do something like that.
