Correct. So... use that 800/sms/second. Even assuming they were getting SMS at a bit over .1 cents per SMS (highly unlikely - probably much higher than that), that's about 80 cents per second - round it up to $1/second that would be $3600/hour.

Sheesh - is my math right on that, or did I move a decimal place?

I'm guessing they weren't burning through thousands per hour every hour on SMS fees, but even hundreds would put a serious dent in a startup's pocket.
