SMS (texting) provider options in the US

We use Knack, Make (Integromat) and Text Magic to send text messages to our employees and vendors. The applications work well together using a variety of triggers and it is no code, yeah! With Text Magic we use a pay as you go plan that costs $0.05/text. As the app has grown so has our # of texts and the costs are starting to get pretty high some months.

Has anyone used other providers for texting and if so what are the operational costs for them?

Thanks!

So what I did to sent Text messages from Knack was made a Email Field. I called it Text Alert Phone Number.
My client looks up the email for the phone number here: https://freecarrierlookup.com/#google_vignette
Put that info in the field and I have it sending text alerts as a email.

No cost involved.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I considered that as an option but our users want their info via text. The good news is it is working well just costing a little more than I’d like.

Your not getting it if you lookup the phone number on that link it will give you a email address. it come across as a text message on a persons phone
