Hello! I'm the owner of lnsms. When you put in a number you should either select the country in the list by clicking the flag and then put the number in local format or manually put the whole number in international format, starting with a plus sign and no leading zeroes (ex: +1234567890 for a US number). If the number was indeed correct it means the country is not supported, which is very unlikely, or there is a bug. Would you be willing to PM me the number so I can look into it?
I did all the operations manually, but it still failed. I think in this case, my country was not supported. I just wanted to try to understand this service better, so don't be too bothered if I couldn't use this service. In case you want to support my country, I can PM you for information.  Cheesy
Yes please PM me

so why sms are expensive like this ?
AFAICR, the cost for such services has always been higher than the normal rates.

In homepage , there is no mention about the price or the (un)supported countries.
It appears they don't have any restrictions.

They're probably using a third-party service for that. I've checked the prices for some countries and compared them with Twilio's, and they look similar.
As the website doesn't support sending messages in bulk and only allows one message for each paiement, i think it's normal to require this expensive price like other services you have checked. However, it's quite simple to use the service in classic way without the need of looking for the one who use LN. 1200 Satoshi is the price of one "mobile sms" multiplied by 6 , and by considering paying a third party i think this complicates the whole process. I think i will look for a service to make deposit to my sim mobile then send wanted message , rather than looking for an sms providing service. In simple terms, if the service has to use/pay third party and require LN for a paiement of 0,085$ just to send one single sms, i would like to know why should i use it and for what need ? Any user doesn't prefer complicated processes just to send a message, imo.
I would like to mention again that small value transactions are easy to be maintained using LN and can garante low prices as it's even possible to split one Satoshi. This should perfectly work with a company that broadcast messages by itself without the need for third parts.

Hello! The prices are based on what my provider charges me for delivering the messages. I choose provider based on reliability and not solely on price. That said, since I read this I looked into it a bit closer and it seems my provider has comparably higher prices for east european countries than other providers. Average seems to be around 50% higher, sometimes up to 100%. Do you happen to live there? I might look into it a bit more and there is a possibility I could create a different site that focuses solely on price by using a cheap provider. Please PM.

It is quite new to me, it seems to be a service that some websites need to verify a user's phone number. I just wanted to try it's effect, but I got an error here and it didn't seem like I could fix it:
Code:
Invalid
Invalid number format – Please check the number (code 10000)

Anyone have any suggestions about this error?  I am unable to use this service, so I do not know how much I need to pay. I hope it's cheap in my country. A good service to recommend to friends but getting an error here  Roll Eyes
