Link messages to users by phone number #11

Open chmac opened 9 years ago

When a user sends a message by SMS, link it to their account.

I added my number as +49 1573 245 1224 and sent a text (to the secret number ;-) ) but it didn't recognise that the message was from me. Spaces maybe?

Tried to implement in my browser, but doesn't seem to be that simple, need to know where the mobile number is stored. Probably need to parse the mobile number on save to strip all whitespaces, replace leading 00 with a +, and so on. Guess there's a library for that...

idea now is to let a user first text a code to us, then we'll simply have their phone number that nexmo is giving us (and will hopefully remain unique)
