Provide customers a SMS without changes

Question

I am looking up, whether there is technically a way to provide a SMS service where anytime someone sends/receives a text message, it's free for them, and the cost is on me. Integration with twilio is a must.

E.g. if a customer's text messaging plan is only 500 txt msgs a month, and they txt my service, they still have 500 txt msgs a month on their plan.

I was kinda hoping toll free numbers worked like that, but I guess not? https://www.twilio.com/help/faq/sms/do-mobile-users-get-charged-when-they-send-messages-to-twilio-us-toll-free-numbers

I don't think this is a relevant question for this website. – wizlog Jun 27 '16 at 15:24 — wizlog, Jun 27 '16 at 15:24

It is possible. You will have to purchase a reseller plan from a bulk sms provider. Here is one that has a good reputation:

thanks, I'm guessing it would work somehow with twilio? – Quincy Jun 27 '16 at 15:30
I suppose you will need some sort of 'carrier' to send and receive messages, combined that with the Twilio API and i suppose you should be ready to go. – Ctc Jun 27 '16 at 15:32
Uhuh so what does that mean? :). – Quincy Jul 04 '16 at 23:17
