Continuing the discussion from [Plugin to send 'private' SMS or Instant Messages from Categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/plugin-to-send-private-sms-or-instant-messages-from-categories/42621/5):

Has anyone tried this yet?

I’m really interested in this as a way to improve user engagement in our forums. I am very concerned about the fact that the vast majority of our users are on Gmail (which filters our forum notifications into the rarely-reviewed bucket of “forum” messages,and Most of our users are in their 20s and so tend to use texting over email, - so I don’t think most of our users ever really get any notifications.

I’d love to have an interface / mechanism to send very occasional notifications (you don’t want to flood your users with notifications as we do with email) and have a cap on it also for cost reasons (since you’re paying Twilio/SMS gateway fees).

Anyone else out there doing this, or have a recognized need for this?
