I use IFTTT to send myself multiple text messages a day, to which I respond and log the results in a Google Doc spreadsheet. Each month I blast past the 100 message limit. I've asked IFTTT to let me pay them for more messages but they said no.


Use Twilio, and have a stub of code inject your responses into your Google Docs spreadsheet. 1 penny per text message they receive for you, $1/month for the number.

Here, just found this blog post via the googles:

Thanks! This may be the impetus I've been waiting for to make the switch.


No problem. Working on getting you a promo code so your number and a bucket of texts are free for testing.


To clarify, you are blocked from sending over 100? Or you are going over said "limit" anyway?
