Component body

Many mobile carries provide the ability to send SMS messages to their subscribers through email.

A list of carriers that support this functionality can be found here:

This module integrates with the SMS framework module.

This gateway is often useful for sending and receiving test messages for development or when you have a small number of known numbers with a specific carrier. If you are sending bulk messages you are probably best looking an actual bulk SMS provider.

Project History

This module was original created and distributed as part of the 1.x sms framework project. Since there are many other sms service provides supported by smsframework its seems appropriate to keep the individual third party gateways separate from the core SMS functionality/API's. So as of the 2.x branch the email gateway is now its own project.
