Sending Messages

You can simply send a message like this:

# Send one text
$message  = "Hello Phone!";
$to       = "[phone]";
$from     = "[phone]";
$response = Sms::send($message,$to,$from);

# Send many texts
$message  = "Hello Phone!";
$to       = ["[phone]","[phone]","[phone]"];
$from     = "[phone]";
$response = Sms::sendMany($message,$to,$from);

# Send many texts with different messages
$items = [
  ["msg"=>"Hello Rick!", "to"=>"[phone]","from"=>"[phone]"],
  ["msg"=>"Hello Tyler!","to"=>"[phone]","from"=>"[phone]"],
  ["msg"=>"Hello Karla!","to"=>"[phone]","from"=>"[phone]"],
];
$response = Sms::sendArray($items);

Dont forget to add this to the top of the file

//If you updated your aliases array in "config/app.php"
use Sms;
//or if you didnt...
use LeadThread\Sms\Facades\Sms;

Buying and Selling phone numbers

$areacode = '435';
//Search for a number to buy
//The response is different for each SMS service provider. This example shows Plivo.
$response = Sms::searchNumber($areacode);
$number = $response['response']['objects'][0]['number'];

//Buy the number
Sms::buyNumber($number);

//Unrent the number
Sms::sellNumber($number);
