Sending Free SMS from Ruby
This is a quick demo of how to send Free SMS from Ruby, via our webservice
Download Ruby, Create two files using Scite, SMS.rb, and RechnerServiceModule.rb
SMS.rb is as follows:
require "soap/rpc/driver"
require "RechnerServiceModule"
include RechnerServiceModule
server = 'http://www.freebiesms.co.uk/sendsms.asmx'
wiredump_dev=STDERR
service = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, RechnerServiceModule::InterfaceNS)
service.wiredump_dev=wiredump_dev
service.default_encodingstyle = SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace
RechnerServiceModule::add_method(service)
result = service.SendSms("Bob","004478660xxxx","00447866xxxxx","Hello From Ruby","en-GB")
(Replace xxxx with the mobile number)
Then RechnerServiceModule.rb is as follows
module RechnerServiceModule
InterfaceNS = 'http://FreebieSMS.co.uk'
Methods=[['SendSms','FromName','FromNumber','ToNumber','Message','locale']]
def RechnerServiceModule.add_method(drv)
Methods.each do |method, *param|
drv.add_method_with_soapaction(method, InterfaceNS+"/#{ method }", *param)
end
end
end
Press Tools > Go (or F5) with SMS.rb highlighted, and you should see this:
>ruby sms.rb
