Add a Kernel#sms method so you can SMS at any point

gem 'SMS'

to your Gemfile or gem install SMS

require 'sms'

You must have three environment variables set, TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN and TWILIO_FROM. To do so, add this to your .bash_profile (or some thing that sets up some env vars for you):

export TWILIO_RECIPIENTS=4151231234
export TWILIO_FROM=4151231234
export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID=ACxxxxxxx
export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=xxxxx

If you wish to programically setup those variables, do the following:

require 'sms'

SMS.twilio_account_sid = "AC818237237282aadff88d7ef8c"
SMS.twilio_auth_token = "xxxx"
SMS.twilio_from = "1231231234"

sms "hi", "4151231234"

As well, you can have default recipients (via the , so you can leave off the number all the time

SMS.default_recipients = "4151231234"
sms "hello there!"

Binary usage
