            );

DESCRIPTION

SMS::Send::DeviceGsm is an SMS::Send driver that uses Device::Gsm to deliver messages via attached hardware.

You provide the hardware port and the baudrate to use. Consult Device::Gsm for further information on what devices and baudrates are supported.

The authors of this driver take no responsibility for any costs accrued on your phone bill by using this module.

Using this driver will cost you money. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

METHODS
new

      # Create a new sender using this driver
      my $sender = SMS::Send->new( 'DeviceGsm',
            _baudrate => '19200', 
            _port     => '/dev/ttyS1',
            );

The "new" constructor takes two parameters, which should be passed through from the SMS::Send constructor.

The params are driver-specific for now, until SMS::Send adds a standard set of params for specifying the login and password.

baudrate

The "baudrate" param defaults to '19200'.

port

        The "port" param is the serial port to connect to. On Unix, can be
        also a convenient link as /dev/modem (the default value). For Win32,
        COM1,2,3,4 can be used.

Returns a new "SMS::Send::DeviceGsm" object, or dies on error.

send_sms

      # Send a message to a particular address
      my $result = $sender->send_sms(
            text => 'This is a test message',
            to   => '+61 4 1234 5678',
            );

The "send_sms" method sends a standard text SMS message to a destination phone number.
