Click-a-Tell Ruby API for SMS sending from Ruby apps
Luke Redpath just released a nice Ruby API (in a gem) for the Click-a-Tell SMS service and man is it dead simple:
require 'rubygems' require 'clickatell' api = Clickatell::API.authenticate(’your_api_id’, ‘your_username’, ‘your_password’) api.send_message(’447771234567′, ‘Hello from clickatell’)
Pretty sweet, no? Get all the details: http://clickatell.rubyforge.org/
I’ve looked at Click-a-Tell before as an SMS Gateway and they always looked pretty solid with great prices.
Their per SMS price (depending on your volume), is starting at 0.06 per text which is pretty cheap and you get higher volume discounts.
Not only do they have international SMS coverage but you can interface with them in almost any way you like: HTTP/S, SMPP, SMTP, FTP, XML and Com Object.
