Do you want to send an SMS? If you're from India, chances are you get 100 of those every day bundled with whatever phone plan you subscribed to. But if you're a company looking to send messages to people, the story is quite different. Prav currently uses the Twilio SMS gateway, which costs us about ₹7 per message. Since we need to send our one-time passwords (OTPs) via SMS, that makes seven rupees spent every time someone signs up (or logs in again) to Prav! Help us cover our SMS costs by sending a donation.

Prāv is always open for collaboration, and, at the risk of a somewhat premature announcement, we are happy to have received an expression of interest from possibly the most well-connected personality on the Fediverse! We hope this potential partnership helps spread awareness about #[url=https://venera.social/search?tag=XMPP]XMPP[/url] to more corners of the Fediverse...once we have figured out how exactly to send a reply! #[url=https://venera.social/search?tag=Nicole]Nicole[/url] #[url=https://venera.social/search?tag=FediverseChick]FediverseChick[/url]
