I released the version 1.0 of my plugin westors elgg manager.
Now SMS functions are supported. What does this mean?
The SMS provider I use on the backend side is a german one. So SMS delivery in germany and many countries should be possible without problems, but - there is no guarantee for all countries.
Everery SMS you send will cause costs for me. Therefore I will limit the number of SMS per sender domain to 6 - one for sender number verification and 5 for sending SMS. This should be enough for demonstration.
Currently many thing still remain open and we have to discuss your use cases and your business model to see the options we have and the things to implement and the contracts we need.
If you e.g. have a business model, where your users should pay for their SMS, we could implement an account model per user, he could be able to charge his account by making a transferal via Pay Pal or other. So he could buy credits for SMS sending. In such a case the user e.g. could donate other users with credits from his own account.
Depending on your use cases we could negotiate, if you could e.g. have a contract with my SMS provider or if you would like to have another provider - in your country, let me know.
Another option could be to have a contract with me and I buy and pay the SMS for you, but lets talk about your plans.
In every case you would have to pay for my development time to make this a customized solution.
Some ideas for SMS sending:
- user to user
- user, admin or group owner to many users or group, using of a tmeplate for the message and variables for username
- your website sends automatic birthday greetings to users
- populate special river events via SMS (e.g. a new post in special group)
- appointment alarms
- adding MMS functions
- adding answer to website funtions
