That is nice but with 'unlimited' SMS will probably get you throttled quickly. I think OP might be better off with custom SMS integrations, lets say an RSS to SMS notification service for their fav news site that would send the article titles as individual sms messages and would allow requesting the 'full' article by means of an SMS reply

I know Twilio has a nice SDK for building solutions like that

Re: Twilio, just created an account a few days ago. Super simple API, and had receiving texts and robocalling myself with their content running within an hour or so. You don't have to store texts on your own, query Twilio's logs and they're all there.
Person to Person SMS is supposed to average below 1 message per minute. Different carriers will throttle your messages in different ways.
