Our pricing starts at 0.8 cents per SMS. Thats already a price which is lower than other providers. If you have more than 1/2 Million SMS a month shoot us an email at support@plivo.com and we will help you out.

I strongly suggest you communicate your pricing as $0.008 instead of 0.8 cents. Be consistent with your units and more importantly: how people think.

Nice feedback. Will do.

As a counterpoint, I think in cents per minute regarding phone calls. I can translate $0.008 with a bit of thought but 0.8 cents is immediately obvious. Perhaps that would trip up people at Verizon[0] who think 0.99 cents is equal to 99 cents, but I think your units are fine as-is.
