Ruby on Rails SMS sending

Question

I'm trying to code for an sms server using this tutorial:

http://lukeredpath.co.uk/blog/sending-sms-messages-from-your-rails-application.html

Here they advice us to use clickatell but i have a gateway that i can use which i would like to use. However i wouldn't know how to write the bits of code that says require clickatel or sudo gem install clickatell. I'm new to ruby and rails hence any help would be appreciated :)

Solution

I have found twilio easy to use and recommend it. They have a tutorial that works (at least in Rails 3.07).

@B Seven where is this RoR tutorial?

It seems that they removed most of the Ruby tutorials. Here's an up-to-date demo app for Ruby (not Rails): github.com/twilio/twilio-ruby . This shows how to use the API. I would see if I could get this to work, and then integrate into a Rails app.
