The pricing information is detailed at
http://bulksms.vsms.net/w/pricing.htm and at
http://bulksms.vsms.net/coverage/ - the actual cost depends on how
many credits you purchase and the route selected. To New Zealand, the
cost is 1 message credit for the economy route, or 1.77 credits for
the standard route. The operators they list as having coverage to in
New Zealand is Telecom NZ, Telstra NZ & Vodafone (BellSouth).

The SMS messages are forwarded by the PHP class to the BulkSMS system
via HTTP. I have no idea what particular network routes BulkSMS use as
they operate their own networks, however I would guess it would be
through major international SMS centres in Europe and perhaps South
Africa. You can e-mail BulkSMS customer service at
support@... as they would have a better idea on this.

Creating an account with BulkSMS is free, and they give you several
free message credits to get started. You can use these credits to test
your implementation before buying them.
