[BNM] SMS Payment Systems

[Tom Hume]

We've worked with MX Telecom for about 6 years now. They've been  
consistently excellent, very helpful, with good customer service, APIs  
a human being can understand, accurate documentation and top-notch  
reliability.

We also have experience integrating with MIG, T-Mobile, mBlox,  
Mindmatics, and a couple of other tiddlers - they all have their  
strengths and weaknesses but I'd recommend MX (and no, I've no  
relationship with them beyond being a happy customer :)).

If you're after cheap-as-chips I hear good things about Clickatell but  
I've not used them myself.
