Is that 50 sms per month or per year? Also, how do we know if we are on the “don’t every have to pay for sms”…plan?
It’s per year. A lot of users are in other countries and in that case our cost per message can be around $.20/message, so at 50/month it would cost us about $120/year and service is only $29. With the previous pricing and unlimited messages we built in an allowance for lots of messages. But most users only get a couple SMS’s a month, so we decided it’s best to have a basic service with a limited number, and that 50/year would cover most users.
We haven’t updated the FindVera site yet with the new system, but we will soon, and then the settings will show you what plan you’re on. If you either: a) paid the $199 lifetime, or b) got the Schlage promo, or c) one of the developer promos, then you’ll have unlimited text messaging and it will stay that way.
was that plan part of the package we got as beta testers or was that just for half price on vera? I can’t remember
