See clickatell.com for details on +their services. Note that at present, this is entirely one way: replies +will either go nowhere or as sms to the source number you specify. + +Configuration +============= + +In prosody.cfg.lua: + + Component "sms.example.com" "sms_clickatell" + sms_message_prefix = "some text" + +The sms\_message\_prefix is a piece of text you want prefixing to all +messages sent through the gateway. For example, I use the prefix +"`[Via XMPP]` " to indicate to recipients that I've sent the message via +the internet rather than the mobile network. Since my primary use case +for this component is to be able to send messages to people only +reachable via mobile when I myself only have internet access and no +mobile reception, this option allows me to give a hint to my recipients +that any reply they send may not reach me in a timely manner. + +Usage +===== + +Once you've installed and configured, you should be able to use service +discovery in your XMPP client to find the component service. Once found, +you need to register with the service, supplying your Clickatell +username, password, API ID, and a source number for your text messages. + +The source number is the mobile number you want messages to 'originate' +from i.e. where your recipients see messages coming from. The number +should be in international format without leading plus sign, or you can +use some other format if clickatell supports it. + +To send text messages to a target number, you need to add a contact in +the form of `[number]@sms.example.com`, where `[number]` is the mobile +number of the recipient, in international format without leading plus +sign, and sms.example.com is the name for the component you configured +above. For example: + +447999000001@sms.yourdomain.com + +You should then be able to send messages to this contact which get sent +as text messages to the number by the component. + +Compatibility +============= + + ----- ------- + 0.7 Works + ----- ------- + +Todo +==== + +- Refactor to create a framework for multiple sms gateway back ends, + and split Clickatell specific code in to its own back end
