Connnect to http://example.com/admin/build/modules
Enable Clickatel module in SMS Framework section.

Please note that Clickatel module only supports sending SMS, not receiving them.

Receiving SMS requires a phone number located in a country, which is billed every month.
Therefore, receiving SMS via clickatel was not yet implemented.

Clickatel account

Visit and sign-up for an account using the API option.

You will be asked to buy a minimum number of credits.
By the time of writing this tutorial, the number is 400.

Then go to the admin panel:

• IP Lock Down: you may enter the IP of your website to restrict connection.
• Dial Prefix: example, 33 for France.
• Callback Type: ???
• Callback Url: ???

Drupal admin panel
