Forgive this mis targeted email, I didn’t know where else to send it to be truthful. I am building an application using Ruby on Rails, I need to know what SMS based service Highrise is using or something similar. Anyone have experience sending sms messages from Rails? I would love a link to a good service. Thanks! – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.

For a free, albeit with limited options, check out the sms\_fu plugin. For more options, with pay as you go messaging, check out something like clickatell along with the gem of the same name. \Peter On Jan 3, 1:04 pm, Merrick C.
