Clickatell is easy enough to use but cost about .064 / message.

You just need to post to a url
uri_str =
“http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?user=&password=&api_id=&to=&text=Test+from+textagog+-+testing+how+long+a+sms+takes”
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(uri_str))

then check the response for Net::HTTPSuccess and look for the clickatell
confirmation ID

if response.body =~ /^ID:/

For the record, all carriers have an email SMS system.

Sprint: [10-digit number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Cingular / ATT : [number]@txt.att.com

These services are of course free, and subject to limitations and
possibly delays. If you need to send a ton of SMSes out, or need
guarenteed quick delivery, you’ll need to look into an SMS gateway
service like clickatell.

terms
of sending messages from my app, my last question was just about the
Unicode
issue.

Thanks

Hi,
Thank you very much for your helpful suggestions.

username=xxxx&password=xxxx&mno=999999&msg=Hi from
exposed in a way or another to some bad user? Is there something

Yes. But it’s part of the standard ruby library and you won’t get

http://www.domain.com/sendsms/sendsms.asp?username=xxxx&password=xxxx&mno=999999&msg=xxx

method to the Message model which does the necessary dtugg.

   flash[:notice] = 'Message was successfully created.'
