Large Volumes of Messages

Some users seem to be using scripts to generate emails and at times we have seen a very large numbers of SMS messages in a very short amount of time from a single user. Some users have generated upwards of 100 messages in 5 minutes using a single GvGateway.net account (and hence a single Google Voice account). While GvGateway.net does not currently impose any limits on the number of messages a user can send, it appears that doing so will result in additional messages failing to be sent by Google Voice. We suspect that Google is locking out accounts that exhibit this behavior for a period of time.

Our current estimate is that sending more than 100 SMS messages on a single Google Voice account in a 5 minute period results in the account being unable to send additional messages for 24 hours.

Please keep in mind that GvGateway.net users use there own Google Voice account to send SMS messages and that your use of Google Voice should always conform to the Google terms of service.
