Here in Latvia best of the breed coders usually receive about 2000$ per month (after tax deduction, for a full-time job) + various benefits. With all the taxes and benefits it's about 4000-5000 USD per month.

Mind, that 2000$ here is a very, very good salary. Normally people earn here about 500-800$ per month.

That said, if you want to get in touch with local PHP, HTML/CSS and JS freelancers, feel free to drop me a line at [email protected].

Sorry for the spammy note. :)

Interesting. Because in Latvia you can get best of the breed software developers for only 66 000 USD a year. And that includes all possible and impossible taxes! (without taxes it's about 32 000 USD a year)

By the way, I'm a freelancer - feel free to drop me a line at [email protected].

Someone who has worked with SMPP here.

SMPP is pain in the ass (I mean - it's not something you want to tackle with if you do not have about 2-3 spare months of your time..) and normally you would pay for SMS far less when sending them through intermediaries over some basic HTTP(S) interface. Using SMPP or any other "enterprise-grade" protocol possibly means connecting to telcos directly - and believe me, it's an expensive path to go..

Anyway, if you still want to go with SMPP, feel free to contact me, if you require paid assistance (I'm a freelancer). spiritus [dot] emortus [at] gmail [dot] com
