Hey guys,

I'm a bit new to the world of sms in drupal and I am hoping to get some suggestions this way.

I'm developing a website for a client which needs the following functionality.

1. Users can type an sms in a box.

2. when they click next, they have to fill in their phone number to get billed.

3. they get a conformation sms for the payment.

4. after they respond to the sms and give the ok, their sms message gets sent through drupal.

5. if possible, it would be great if customers are able to buy sms credits in addition in order to purchase a discount sms package.

Does anyone have a good suggetion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Cheers,

You would have to use some 3rd party service provider. Usually these providers charge you as the site owner and then it is up to you to charge the user.

Third party SMS gateways available. You can make use of them and you must handle this API using your own module. Hope you need to develop one.

Thanks

I came across these options today.

I was wondering how you decided to do the work for your client.

All, I want to do is to activate a user account by receiving payment for it. So, if they click on "Join", then they are asked to write their number (in Latin America), drupal sends sms, client responds and pays, their account is immediately activated.
