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?
Create a sms recipients list
Hi everybody, what I would like to have is the possibility to send sms to people without having to ask them to register to my site to receive my sms.
So I thought to this: create a flexible content type that alter the standard node form adding a phone field to it.
In this way you can create a very selective sms-blast-like module.
Think about having numbers stored in nodes instead of user profile. This would give the possibility to create groups, restrict access and send sms only to desired people.
Since now I've fiugred out a custom module that hold some of these features.
User to user SMS communication. Does this exist?
I have a been using Drupal for a bit now but I do not have the ability to really code PHP and get into the inner workings of Drupal. I mostly have ideas for websites and try to use Drupal to develop the idea.
I would really like to find someone that can make this happen or maybe help combine modules to get me there.
Basically I have a site that needs to work like this:
User 1 posts an item for sale
User 2 lands on item node and decides to buy item
User 2 clicks button and an SMS is sent to User 1 telling him that User 2 wants to buy their listed item
New SMS goodies -- user creation and an incoming email gateway
i've had a couple modules running on some client sites (5.x)
here's what they do:
- handle incoming SMS messages via an email gateway
- create new drupal users (or log them in if they are already created) via an incoming SMS message
after some initial conversations with Will, we've decided that both of these features would do well to live in the SMS framework.
this is a brief post to simply let folks know that the work is now kicking off, and you can track the progress at the following issues:
Read moreSummer of Code Ideas
If I am not mistaken this module was initially developed from Google Summer of Code. Well I have used this module for a few months now and would love to add to the project. I however would like to know what do you think could be added to this project worthy enough of a Google Summer of code entry.
Read moreChecking duplicate unconfirmed number
Right now, one cannot enter a mobile number if it has already been registered on the site, even if the existing mobile number is unconfirmed. This doesn't really make sense, as anyone can input anyone else's mobile number and prevent the real owner from using their own numbers.
Isn't it better to check only against CONFIRMED numbers?

Read moreNew gateway and slight mod for sms.module
Hi all,
I have just finished a gateway module for Txtlocal (http://www.txtlocal.com), and would like it make it available for inclusion in the SMS Framework package. The module was written for 6.x and supports inbound and outbound messaging with all of txtlocal's extended options (specify sender, delayed send, message reference, WAP PUSH).
I had to make a slight mod to sms.module because the receiver MSISDN is important for my project. I have written it to the phpdoc header in the gateway module, but here it is:
Read moreThe Future of SMS Framework BoF at Drupalcon DC
We are interested in getting together to chat about the roadmap of the SMS Framework and providing services via SMS.
The MIT Mobile Experience Lab created a similar, but different, actions system for the SMS Framework at the same time that Development Seed was working on theirs. We think there may be room for merging the two paths to build a versatile, usable SMS service system for Drupal.
Brian McMurray (bmcmurray) and Steve Pomeroy (xxvelcrar) from the Mobile Experience Lab will be around in room 156. Look for Steve with his Linux beret and long hair.
Read moreAdding sms mobile form to another page
Hi,
I am looking to add user/uid/mobile to my node profile page.
How do I accomplish this?
Since sms_user_register() is a function that already does the heavy lifting, how do I place the form where I want?
I thought I could do something like this in a block. I am not sure how to use hook_form_alter to add this to the form with the id below.
if ($form_id == "edit-profile-personal-node-form") {
return sms_user_register();
}
Thanks for your help!

SMS provider options
Hello,
I have a question about sms providers and costs associated with sending/receiving sms on a site. I've looked around and there's really no great resource for that that I can find. we are building a site where users can sign up messages for different types of data . I'd like to include sms, but I am seeing that its extremely expensive. I'm not sure if I missed something but it looks as if the least expensive option is about 3 cents a text. We anticipate sending 50000-100000 solicited sms's a month.
Is it going to cost me 18 - 36k per year?
Read moreIntegration of German SMS-Creator.de? - Current sms.module API?
I wrote some bigger module to provide sms sending and receiving with the german Service sms-creator.de. For sending messages I also implemented a gateway for sms.module, but mainly it's a standalone module - with different features:
- sending SMS,MMS,...
- instant receiving SMS via HTTP-request from SMSC (type 1)
- receiving SMS via calling form SMSC server (type 2)
- message logging
- Credit Management (time flatrates, credit points per message) for sending and receiving messages (type2)
An error message in a basic SMS Framework installation
Hi folks --
I am trying to set up a basic working installation of SMS framework, by following the instructions by will white on:
http://www.developmentseed.org/blog/2008/jun/04/sms-framework-notificati...
(I recognize those instructions didn't originate from this group.)
All seems to go smoothly, BUT when I reach the end step which involves simply posting a new story on your site and waiting for the alert to come though by SMS, the portal gives me the following error message when the published Story appears on the page:
Read moreFrontlineSMS as possible gateway
Hey all, been watching the activities over at FrontlineSMS and it looks like a very interesting project. And they just got some pretty substantial foundation backing to support it. Also got confirmation from Ken over at kwinja.net that they are still planning to OS the code. Unfortunately I do not have a GSM phone to try it out right now, but it's on The List. Wondering if there is interest in the Community here to get it on the list as a supported gateway?
Cheers,

I watched the video of Will about "Setting Up a Two-Way SMS Gateway with Gnokii and Drupal" but still wondering here.
sorry for much wonderings...
Will has a usb and a phone in the demo, My concerns are:
Read moreSMS EMAIL gateway
I'm now in the Philippines, And I'm wondering if the SMS EMAIL gateway is available to us by default. I tried it and it didn't work. Do I have to manually edit the code inside the smsframework to cater our wireless operator here (smart, globe, sun) because by default when I view the drop down list I didn't see our local operators name.
I look in wiki sms gateway our local network operators doesn't include in the list. Is this an international default standard that all wireless operators should enabled the 555123568@operator.net? or depends on the local wireless operator?

Hello to all:
I'm just new here but I would like to share my idea about how probably I can help in a little way for SMS framework roadmap.
I really don't know personally how drupal sms framework gone so far, though I did some reading of the group forum topics here.
I would like to propose a future infrastructure that maybe will help, aid, and guide Drupal SMS Framework Roadmap to achieve its goal.
This is called MNS [Mobile Name System] for mobile phones.
