This is an unabashed hack of the Original Quickmail block from Louisiana State University.

All credit and kudos goes to their team. I only changed a few items to enable SMS functionality.

BE SURE TO DELETE ANY EXISTING INSTALLATION OF THE QUICKMAILSMS BLOCK BEFORE UPGRADING

Go to Blocks->mangage blocks->Delete, next to quickmailsmssms

INSTALLATION

Installation is like any other block - upload it to moodle/blocks and go to Admin->Notifications. Basically, it works just like the old quickmail block:

CONFIGURATION - BLOCK WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING

You create three custom profile fields with the following specifications:

1.

type - checkbox shortname - opt name - whatever you feel appropriate, such as "Allow texts sent to your phone" required - no locked - no unique - no display on signup - yes Who is the field visible to? - visible to user checked by default - No

2.

type - dropdown menu shortname - mobileprovider name - whatever you feel appropriate, such as "Cellular Provider" required - no locked - no unique - no display on signup - yes Who is the field visible to? - visible to user menu options - Please select one... AT&T ~@txt.att.net~ All Tell ~@@message.alltel.com~ Boost ~@myboostmobile.com~ Cellular South ~@csouth1.com~ Centennial Wireless ~@cwemail.com~ Cincinnati Bell ~@gocbw.com~ Cricket Wireless ~@sms.mycricket.com~ Metro PCS ~@mymetropcs.com~ Powertel ~@ptel.net~ Qwest ~@qwestmp.com~ Rogers ~@pcs.rogers.com~ Sprint ~@messaging.sprintpcs.com~ T-Mobile ~@tmomail.net~ Suncom ~@tms.suncom.com~ Telus ~@msg.telus.com~ U.S. Cellular ~@email.uscc.net~ Verizon ~@vtext.com~ Virgin Mobile USA ~@vmobl.com~

NOTES:

1 - Additional Providers If you think your students have other providers that are not listed, find their email-to-sms address at http://www.emailtextmessages.com/ and add them in with the format

Name ~@address~

2 - Profile Field Category I find it easier to create a new Profile Field Category called "SMS Messages" and put the three fields in there.

Following is the original Quickmail readme file contents:
