SMS Framework

SMS Framework is project for Drupal that began as a part of Google Summer of Code 2007. The modules inside the framework add powerful SMS integration to your Drupal site. An API is provided for building more features. See the project page on Drupal.org for more information.

This group is used to shared ideas about the project. We want to focus on these three questions:

What core or contributed modules would benifit from the integration of SMS functionality?
Which SMS gateway vendors should be supported by the framework?
What are some specific use cases for the framework?

Email-to-SMS gateway limitations

Posted by mwm on January 21, 2010 at 9:42pm

Hello,

I'm working on a site that will eventually be sending thousands of SMS messages per day using SMS Framework. I'm currently testing with the Email gateway module and it works so far for small numbers of test messages. Is there any reason why this approach couldn't be scaled up to e.g. 10 messages from 1000 of my site users per day?

SMPP and Singlepoint

Posted by steev on January 21, 2010 at 8:22pm

I'm using Singlepoint as a gateway service. It doesn't look like this is the case but I want to make sure, has anyone written a gateway module for Singlepoint, and/or one that uses SMPP?

Thanks,

steev

SMS character codings GSM 03.38

Posted by fw_crocodile on December 14, 2009 at 9:34pm

Hi,

did anyone had some problems with the encoding of messages?

In some cases i've received unreadable messages full of @@. Did you think this could be related to char coding?

My phone is an "old" Nokia 1100 and come to my mind that the encoding used in such cases could be unsupported.

SMS framework - Is it possible to integrate sms with the "decisions" module?

Posted by iamnayr on December 11, 2009 at 6:58pm

We are currently in the process of developing a polling / voting site and are interested in integrating sms into the site. Basically an admin would post a new poll/decision and any users subscribed through sms would get a notification of the poll and also be able to answer by responding with a text (a, b, c, d) or something similar to that.

Is this in any way possible?

Thank you for your amazing work on the sms framework!

SMS Gateways/Modems in the Data Center

Posted by ezraw on December 11, 2009 at 6:22pm

Hi,

We are embarking on a project that would generate about 250,000 messages a year. Our client is concerned about costs, even at $.03 a message (plus shortcode fees). We are looking at using a cellular modem in the data center. Does anyone have any experience in that area and if so can you share?

For example, something like one of these.

http://www.felltech.com/page_products.php?product=outboxsms
http://www.smsfoxbox.com/

Does anyone have experience dealing with the carriers on something like this, for example, costs and volume limits?

Thanks,
Ezra

Simple Role to enable/disable the ability to receive SMS Blast

Posted by fw_crocodile on December 3, 2009 at 3:58pm

Hi,

I've the simple need of disabling certain user from receiving SMS.

So they should be enabled to register their phone number, but not to receive Blast messages. I was thinking about a "simple" default user Role, say "SMS enabled" to wich the admins could un/subscribe the users. That Role could be inserted by default upon installation of SMS Blast.

This would give a simple way to enable disable certain user, adding only few line of code to the module, and without dependencies.

There is already a similar solution?

Could it be interesting?

SMS-Framework as a school alert system

Posted by kkallsen on October 15, 2009 at 2:14pm

I believe a great use for this module module would be a SMS alert system for a school or hospital. I run a few dozen drupal school and church websites and I would love to have a SMS application that would send out a SMS message to alert website subscribers to a school closing or a school lockdown.

Has this been done? Or can someone point me to where I need to go? Or does someone have the ability to do this and want to make some xtra $?

SMS Email Gateway bad address syntax?

Posted by bryanhirsch on October 6, 2009 at 11:50pm

I'm trying to use the E-mail Gateway module included in the SMS Framework. When I confirm my phone number, it works. But when I set my user's Messaging and Notifications default send method to SMS, the notifications don't work.

It looks like it's trying to send messages to <5555555555@>. The returned mail says "bad syntax". I think it's supposed to be sending to 5555555555@txt.att.net.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Require sms confirmation to create account

Posted by kaerast on July 10, 2009 at 12:17pm

When users add their mobile phone number, a confirmation code is sent out. Is there any way to disable the user's account completely until they have entered this confirmation code? Or perhaps to move them to a new role when they have confirmed their mobile phone number? I want to only allow users from the UK to create accounts, and requiring them to enter a UK phone number seems a good way of achieving that.

Perhaps you have some other suggestions on how this might be achieved?

SMS Framework 2.x

Posted by derhasi on June 19, 2009 at 8:48pm

After starting a patch for providing an extended new hook system in v2 (http://drupal.org/node/442748), I corresponded with Will to start efficient planing of the 2.x branch by introducing some main goals for development. You are welcome to join the discussion and leave proposals.

SMS Framework will be stated "on heavy development" so should not be used on production sites at the moment.

This list might grow in the next days, so feel free to propose new points or comment on existing ones.

Possible use with Emergency Services Dispatch system & mapping integration?

Posted by darrennye on May 9, 2009 at 6:09pm

Hi all,

I'm hoping maybe this idea exists as preconfigured components/modules somewhere?

I'm a member of a fire company (www.station31.org) and I just setup Drupal 6 for us, and converted some of our content from a Dreamweaver site.

When there is a 911 emergency in our town, our local Emergency Services Dispatch office sends out a notification/page on our audio pagers, summarizing the emergency and the location. All firefighters carry these pagers so they know when to respond.
