smsgates project

First:

pip install -r requirements.pip
python setup.py install
python setup.py test

Then make most from sendsms script:

For most flexibility export your contacts (from Google Contacts or Apple Adress Book in vCard to $HOMEDIR/Documents/contacts.vcf). Then add that to your .bashrc:

SMSGATES_BOOTSTRAP=`which smsgates_bootstrap.sh`
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
  export SMSGATES_SENDSMS_GATE="GATENAME"
  export SMSGATES_SENDSMS_LOGIN="LOGIN"
  export SMSGATES_SENDSMS_PASSWORD="PASSWORD"
  source "$SMSGATES_BOOTSTRAP"
fi

Send bob sms with name TAB completion:

sms b+TAB
sms bob MSG
echo "fun time!" |sms bob

For more see sendsms.py -h

Or build your code using smsgates:

from smsgates.contrib import MySMSGate

with MySMSGate(login=l, password=p) as gate:
    gate.send(some_text, number)

Your mobile provider has poor/None sms gate ...maybe twilio.com is for you

Twilio looks as nice option if you don't mind paying few $. Just create an account and kick:

pip install -r provider_requirements/twilio_requirements.pip

An then pass:

• --gate_name as twilio.com
• --sender as your number
• --login as your account sid
• --password as your account token

Ideas:

• speedup vCard contacts parsing ?
• listing gates
• storing some metadata (when/what send to who) ? configurable default off
• support contact groups
• automate grabbing google contacts ?
