Twilio has been a dream for SMS implementation, though I don't think they are appropriate if you need SMS outside Canada / the US at the moment. Their customer service is quite nice, too.

Words cannot describe how crazy I think picking a platform based on $10 of costs for development is, by the way.

Thanks Patio. BTW, do you know who the blogger is who wrote the review? I'm curious to know his background, as this is the only post on his blog, and this is his only HN post. Seems a bit odd.

Jeff,

His name's David Wilkie (not betraying any confidence - he lists his name in those email threads he posted).

I don't know him personally, but he's been a regular in our IRC channel over the last couple of months. I believe he's a web developer living in Vietnam. Why do you ask?

Exactly right on the international thing. I tried a couple of things with Twilio and liked it a lot. But their SMS get rejected by most german carriers, which does not make it a viable option at the moment...
