I would use MMS APIs to make this a convenient reality.

I think your app in its current form has the wrong form factor.

Hi there. Are you thinking for inbound (original bill upload) or outbound notification? We thought about it for the inbound but while we believe we can get the registration down to a simple 2-3 step process the bill itself is not enough so we would still need supporting information (force the use of the site anyway).

Regarding form factor our plan is a responsive site that down scales to touch devices. That will cover both desktop and mobile well.

Don't make me scan a document and upload it to your site. That's too much work.

Just tell the customers "Text us, email us, fax us.... etc..."

Sure. But why scan? A phone pic is enough. That was the plan. How they send it in is the customers choice but in my view a simple web form is easier than asking them to write a bespoke email.

But by and large we would accept applications any way they would want to be send but I question the value of building MMS in the MVP. This would cater to the 'camera enabled non browser devices' and our research shows this is a tiny slice of our audience. However this is a quick thing to build so as we progress research on our target audience we may change our mind.

No, let them text the image to a number.

This is a good idea, I think we will do it. It looks straightforward with Twilio but let me know if you know of another good MMS API provider. Thanks!
