The package also supports 9 paid services, Call Fire, EZTexting, FlowRoute, LabsMobile, Mozeo, Nexmo, Plivo, Twilio, Zenvia, SMSgw, Mobily.ws.

Laravel 5

  • PHP: >= 7.x
  • Guzzle >= 6.0

Configuration

Composer

$ composer require cammac/sms

Service Provider

if your Laravel below 5.5 you need to add PostMarkServiceProvider

in config/app.php in providers list

\Cammac\LaravelSms\LaravelSmsServiceProvider::class,

Aliases

You must run the following command to save your configuration files to your local app:

$ php artisan vendor:publish

This will copy the configuration files to your config folder.

Driver Configuration

return [
    'driver' => 'smsgw',
    'from' => 'Company A',

    ],
];

E-mail Driver

The E-Mail driver sends all messages through the configured e-mail driver for Laravel. This driver uses the wireless carrier's e-mail gateways to send SMS messages to mobile phones. The biggest benefit to using the e-mail driver is that it is completely free to use.

The only setting for this driver is the from setting. Simply enter an email address that you would like to send messages from.

return [
    'driver' => 'email',
    'from' => '[email protected]',
];

If messages are not being sent, ensure that you are able to send E-Mail through Laravel first.

The following are currently supported by using the e-mail gateway driver.

Usage

Basic Usage

Simple SMS operates in much of the same way as the Laravel Mail service provider. If you are familiar with this then SMS should feel like home. The most basic way to send a SMS is to use the following:

//Service Providers Example
SMS::send('Your SMS Message', null, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

//Service Providers Using A Laravel View
//$data is the information that will be passed onto the view file.
SMS::send('laravel::viewFile', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

//Email Driver Example
SMS::send('Your SMS Message', null, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555', 'att');
});

The first parameter is the view file that you would like to use. The second is the data that you wish to pass to the view. The final parameter is a callback that will set all of the options on the message closure.

Send

The send method sends the SMS through the configured driver using a Laravel view file.

SMS::send($view, Array $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
}
SMS::send('laravel::view', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

It is possible to send a simple message without creating views by passing a string instead of a view.

SMS::send($message, [], function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
}
SMS::send('This is my message', [], function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

Driver

The driver method will switch the provider during runtime.

//Will send through default provider set in the config file.
SMS::queue('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

SMS::driver('twilio');

//Will send through Twilio
SMS::queue('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

Queue

The queue method queues a message to be sent later instead of sending the message instantly. This allows for faster respond times for the consumer by offloading uncustomary processing time. Like Laravel's Mail system, queue also has queueOn, later, and laterOn methods.

SMS::queue('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
});

The queue method will fallback to the send method if a queue service is not configured within Laravel.

Receive

Simple SMS supports push SMS messages. You must first configure this with your service provider by following the configuration settings above.

Route::post('sms/receive', function()
{
    SMS::receive();
}

The receive method will return a IncomingMessage instance. You may request any data off of this instance like:

Route::post('sms/receive', function()
{
    $incoming = SMS::receive();
    //Get the sender's number.
    $incoming->from();
    //Get the message sent.
    $incoming->message();
    //Get the to unique ID of the message
    $incoming->id();
    //Get the phone number the message was sent to
    $incoming->to();
    //Get the raw message
    $incoming->raw();
}

The raw method returns all of the data that a driver supports. This can be useful to get information that only certain service providers provide.

Route::post('sms/receive', function()
{
    $incoming = SMS::receive();
    //Twilio message status
    echo $incoming->raw()['status'];
}

The above would return the status of the message on the Twilio driver.

Data used from the raw method will not work on other service providers. Each provider has different values that are sent out with each request.

Check Messages

This method will retrieve an array of messages from the service provider. Each message within the array will be an IncomingMessage object.

$messages = SMS::checkMessages();
foreach ($messages as $message)
{
    //Will display the message of each retrieve message.
    echo $message->message();
}

The checkMessages method supports has an options variable to pass some settings onto each service provider. See each service providers API to see which options may be passed.

More information about each service provider can be found at their API docs.

Get Message

You are able to retrieve a message by it's ID with a simply call. This will return an IncomingMessage object.

$message = SMS::getMessage('aMessageId');
//Prints who the message came from.
echo $message->from();

Outgoing Message

To

The to method adds a phone number that will have a message sent to it.

//Service Provider Example
SMS::send('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->to('+15555555555');
    $sms->to('+14444444444');
});

The carrier is required for the email driver so that the correct email gateway can be used. See the table above for a list of accepted carriers.

From

The from method will set the address from which the message is being sent.

SMS::send('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->from('+15555555555');
});

attachImage

The attachImage method will add an image to the message. This will also convert the message to a MMS because SMS does not support image attachments.

//Service Provider Driver
SMS::send('Your SMS Message', $data, function($sms) {
    $sms->attachImage('/url/to/image.jpg');
});

Currently only supported with the E-Mail and Twilio Driver.

Incoming Message

All incoming messages generate a IncomingMessage object. This makes it easy to retrieve information from them in a uniformed way across multiple service providers.

Raw

The raw method returns the raw data provided by a service provider.

$incoming = SMS::getMessage('messageId');
echo $incoming->raw()['status'];

Each service provider has different information in which they supply in their requests. See their documentations API for information on what you can get from a raw request.

From

This method returns the phone number in which a message came from.

$incoming = SMS::getMessage('messageId');
echo $incoming->from();

To

The to method returns the phone number that a message was sent to.

$incoming = SMS::getMessage('messageId');
echo $incoming->to();
