Most of the "free after registration" SMS gateways in Germany started
charging money for using their gateways. Obviously the Telcos have
discovered that there are now enough adicts out there needing their
regular SMS fix.
That's why I'm curious what the actual costs of sending through a self
made gateway would be.
