If whoever provides SMS connectivity to smszilla has a proper agreement to terminate messages with T-Mobile, they'll be affected by any price rise. If not, you'll find it's likely T-Mobile will block the messages - if not now it won't take long for them to find out. There's no 'proper' way to get around this. Yes you could use el cheapo backdoor routes via Russia, Middle East, China, etc - but as most of these are just dumping SMS traffic on the SS7 network and hoping it'll get delivered, chances are that it'll be really unreliable. Just have to sit back and wait til Ofcom do their review into wholesale SMS termination next year, and when given the chance make your views known! Er ok.
