However it’s got a number of issues, 1 is they continually sent all notifications twice. Also the offer they make (20 sms for free monthly account, 20 sms for basic account, and 30 sms for pro account) are simply not true. You get 20 SMS when you sign up, but that’s it, you don’t get 20 more when you switch to a basic account, and they don’t get refilled each month unless you pay MORE money, so the advertising is completely deceptive. Then when I canceled the prepaid year account subscription they didn’t kill the subscription only they deleted the entire account. So far no money back either. I’m going to have to say FAIL. Avoid Pingdom, try one of the other uptime services. I tried pingdom out, and it’s a good concept. However it’s got a number of issues, 1 is they continually sent all notifications twice.

Most companies that provide this charge an arm and a leg and don't use a website for account creation, etc. (hard to believe, huh?) Anyways, nice review! I'll be giving pingdom a shot. Sweeet!
