Add Broadband or Nexmo adapter #2

Closed mieko closed 5 years ago

mieko commented 5 years ago

We need a second backup provider

Broadband is $0.005/msg vs. Twilio's $0.0075/msg vs. Nexmo's $0.0069.

meter.md has both Broadband and Nexmo accounts open.

Broadband is actually the cheapest and fastest service out there. It was one of Twilio's original carriers before they made their own network deals. They're more of a wholesaler that went direct-to-business. Setting up the account was more of a pain, and I'll have to look up the credentials. They have a Gem. I also think Broadband has the most generous rate limiting.

Nexmo is sort of middle of the pack, but has been reliable for me. They have a Gem. I have to pay them in Euros, and is another account to keep open.

I think this is an either-or thing for now, and when we have a reason to continue on we will (or when we make this repo public, anyone can submit adapters)

Bandwidth (not Broadband, I had them confused), Nexmo, and Plivo adapters now exist in BabySMS.
