In order to deploy KalSMS, the only monetary costs are the cost of a messaging
plan for your phone, and the price of the phone itself. KalSMS is compatible with
many old or inexpensive Android phones, e.g. the LG GT540, currently $120 on Amazon.com.

Typically your organization will need only one phone running KalSMS in a
particular country, although you could have multiple phones to load-balance requests
particular country. However, it is possible to use multiple phones to load-balance requests
for higher throughput, to offer different user services, or to serve different mobile networks.

<h2>Comparison to Alternative Methods</h2>
<p>
SMS gateways can be created using several alternative methods, including hosted services (e.g. Twilio, Tropo, Clickatell),
connecting GSM phones/modems to a computer (e.g. FrontlineSMS, RapidSMS, Kannel),
and partnering directly with mobile operators.

<p>
KalSMS is ideal for situations where no hosted services with local numbers are available in
a particular country, or when it is necessary to receive MMS messages. KalSMS likelly has
lower throughput than hosted services or partnering with mobile operators, but should
be able to forward up to a few thousand messages per phone per day.
