Will be fixed with #331630: Add CRUD interface to E-mail Gateway module.

I have a question about this. are you implying that you don't want to maintain an up-to-date list of carriers in this module? Because it seems like you'd want to both add missing carriers and add ability for admins to modify the list.
If you don't add the carriers here then everyone installing the module has to manually update the list. Or we need to maintain a separate contrib module implementing the hook like sms_carriers.module?

mfb,
Yes you are right. We should maintain a proper list in addition to adding support for users to add their own. I'll commit this shortly. Thanks!

by the way, one of our developers is based in Uruguay... so here's another you could add:
'mms.claro.com.uy' => t('Claro UY'),
of course, I'm guessing this is just barely scratching the surface of all the SMS e-mail gateways ;) so we'll definitely want the ability for admins to hide various carriers they don't need to support.
#5
What do you think about incorporating Laconica's carrier gateway database?

Of course, I need to convert this to patch format.
#6
In this patch I added everything that Laconica supports plus a couple others, Claro Uruguay and Mobilink World (Pakistan).
#7
Re-rolled for the latest dev version of SMS Framework.
Also included a critical bug fix for sms_theme() breaking the forms.
