Hi,
First, I must say smsframework works, and works well.
Setting up clickatell gateway is easy, and working directly with sms_send() it can easily send SMS messages.

Problems happen when trying to work with existing modules.

My final goal is to develop a module which will create an Ubercart CA action to send SMS messages.
I have a Ubercart Marketplace, and I want every seller to get SMS whenever new order with one of his product is being created.

I don't want to create things from start, so I want to use sms_user module.

1st problem -
Using user//mobile and setting a number with less than 10 digits won't work properly - the sms_formatter() will fail, give FALSE (which will be saved into the database instead of the number) - while the SMS itself will be sent properly...
This is a sms_user bug.

2nd problem -
Trying to use 10 digit number (in my case, just add the 0 prefix to the number) will pass the formatter, but the SMS won't be sent...
This might be a clickatell gateway module bug.

Looking at the existing issues, I think I see few bug descriptions that is similar to what I find, and few hacks/tricks/patches to solve them.
But I don't want to hack, I want to solve the bugs properly...

How do we push this forward ?

Regards,
Shushu
