most of our bulk SMS websites has been discovered to be resellers and no body tends to answer the question of "who exactly is the real supplier, how can one get unit from the source (which of course will be cheaper than going through a reseller that bought unit from another reseller who actually purchased his own too from a different reseller.

So the bottom line is as a person who is a reseller and wants to upgrade, how can one purchase bulk SMS unit without going through another bulk SMS website provider?

u v to spends millions to get the sms message center running, the facilities n equipment plus good tech know-how. actually I coded my site from scratch to finish and it provides such cheap sms as u want. visit www.boltsms247.com

In order to buy from the sources, you will be given a minimum volume per time that you must consume, you would most likely need a different portal than the regular one bulk sms sites use (www.smsportalcreator.com) and you will need a lot of super resellers (Those who sell upwards of 5Million units monthly) to cover the monthly volume.

I have once tried to bring some Nigerian super resellers together to jointly buy directly (I know them because they use my software) but most of the super resellers don't have liquidity. They run on credit.

The edge you may leverage on is SMS Routing. Most SMS Portals do not super-size until the are able to route.
Once you can route your traffic, then you wont need to worry about buying from the source. You'll just buy from those who get it from the source. That means:
1. There will be just one person between you and the source.
2. You are not bound by time limit.
3. When one provider is messing up on one route(e.g MTN Route) you can switch only that route to another provider.
4. You get stable and reliable delivery because you can route through several providers simultaneously.

@lojik,You said when one provider is messing up one route you can switch to another route. How can i acheive that from my database please? Is there a proxy software that can identify MTN numbers only and point them to a provider other than where i buy from?
