I received an email from Clickatell inviting me to top up my SMS account. After a split second consideration I realised I did not need them anymore. Sorry Clickatell!
Twitter is more convenient. I have set up a few private accounts and subscribed to them through my own. When an event occurs I receive notification direct to my phone as a free SMS message direct from twitter.
Although twitter has been unreliable lately it has proven more convenient than using Clickatell. In time twitter will fix the problems and they may even be suitable for mission critical solutions. I hope so because they are easy to use and should spawn many superb product ideas all designed to keep us informed with the information we want now, not just when we visit facebook.
My walks, hikes, rambles, kloofing, backpacking, excursions, treks, and walkabouts return to the starting point making it easy to plan your day.
