Sending SMS from application

Rails
1

Hi guys,

What would be the solutions to sending an free SMS to anywhere in the
world
from a rails app? I have looked at the gems out there but they seem
pretty
outdated. Is this because there’s an easier way to do this?

Thanks and Regards

I’ve used Twilio with GitHub - twilio/twilio-ruby: A Ruby gem for communicating with the Twilio API and generating TwiML work very
well.

It is not free. You need a service to actually send those SMS messages,
of course. I would start by picking a service (in your price change) and
then look for a wrapper (gem) that works with that service, not the
other way around.

Hmmmm. No way to do this without a service? Hehe…was shooting for
free. ;-)—
