TeleSMS

TeleSMS is a library for sending and receiving SMS messages with emails. It uses carrier-provided email-to-sms gateways to send and receive messages. To see a list of gateways, visit https://web.archive.org/web/20130906122931/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways.

The purpose of this library is to encapsulate the code for sending and receiving email-to-sms messages since there are many edge cases. The goal is to maintain the configuration and parsers to reduce the number of failed messages.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'telesms'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install telesms

To send a message:

# Order: FROM, TO, PROVIDER, BODY
Telesms::Outgoing.deliver('john@example.com', '555555555', 'Verizon', 'Message body')

To receive and parse a message:

Telesms::Incoming.receive(params[:mail])
# => { from: '555555555', to: 'john@example.com', body: 'Message body', provider: 'Verizon' }

To get a list of available gateways:

Telesms::Base.gateways
# => { 'AT&T' => { sms: 'att.com', mms: 'mmode.com'}, ... }

Configure the mail gem to use the correct delivery method:

Mail.defaults do
  delivery_method :sendmail # or :smtp, options
end

To fetch & test the library for development, do:

$ git clone https://github.com/kalinchuk/telesms.git

$ bundle
$ rake spec
