Create an option to fallback to sending an SMS through cellular carrier in
case sending through web failed.

Automatic fallback to cellular carrier would be great.

Is it possible to have a rule like:
IF national number THEN
  <app_name>
ELSE
  <WEBsms>
END IF

I appreciate very much your work developing this useful application :-)

Do you mean the GUI?

Original comment by franco.s...@gmail.com on 27 Aug 2010 at 7:41

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yes I mean gui.

Simple:
NATIONAL DEFAULT --> <shortcut to Programs, choose one>
INTERNATIONAL DEFAULT --> <WEBsms connectors, choose one>

Less simple:
NATIONAL DEFAULT --> <shortcut to Programs, choose one>
INTERNATIONAL 1  --> <choose nation/prefix> --> <WEBsms connectors, choose one>
INTERNATIONAL 2  --> <choose nation/prefix> --> <WEBsms connectors, choose one>
INTERNATIONAL 3  --> <choose nation/prefix> --> <WEBsms connectors, choose one>
...
INTERNATIONAL OTHERS --> <WEBsms connectors, choose one <OR> ask every time>

As a start, with the first option I would be more than happy, I use only 
FishText for all nations, so far is the cheapest and it works perfectly with 
WEBsms ;-)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I actually thought of something like this

if number matches/startswith 0*/+49  (german national), then myphone.ge
if number matches/startswith 8*/+995 (georgian national), then fishtext.com
if number matches/startswith +49176|0176 (gemrna, o2) then abc.com
default e.g. SMS

It might scare some user, but it would be a good way to implement it.
Just remember the "Default international" for those who use only one service 
for all the foreign countries ;-)

Off topic: it is planned some sort of merge of SMSdroid and WEBsms? It would be 
just perfect to read and send messages without going forth and back from 
SMSdroid (also for "normal" sms), one great application to manage all my sms. 
Sort of Handcent SMS with connectors... :-)

btw: wildcards should not be * use %, there was an issue for callmeter on that. 
:p
and: have a look on my numbergroups in callmeters cm3 branch.
over and out :D

A solution to your GUI problem could be a one-line option like the following:

Send via carrier for: [textbox]
*subtext would be: "Enter country codes as comma-separated values. Leave box 
blank for none."

Other notes:
- Perhaps the user's default country code could be pulled from the user's 
websms setup (API?)
- If websms is not detected, use carrier for all.
- What about country codes like "1" that are used for both US and Canada but 
are long distance in only one of the countries
- What about contacts entered as a 10 digit number without the country code. 
They are within the country but won't be whitelisted.

My thought was to be able to set up conenctor selection based on a rule set 
that also depends on whether or not the phone is roaming, e.g.:

If the phone is not roaming:

*If sending to an international number use fishtext where available;
*Otherwise use the SMS connector.

If the phone is roaming;

*Send all texts using fishtext where available;
*Otherwise use the SMS connector (the option for a prompt to confirm
would be a useful bonus).

In principle would it be possible to implement such functionality as a 
connector, invoking other connectors as required? If so that could be a way of 
someone else developing the functionality separate from the main project....

A very useful feature for me would be to be able to select connector based on 
message encoding.
Many cheap webtext providers (fishtext included) do not support unicode.

So, my logic is usually,
  if message is non-unicode (all ascii) then use xxx
  else use yyy

Selecting the connector based on the phone number would be much useful for me 
either.

I think we should not limit ourselves to country code. For instance the user 
might have free SMS for a given mobile network operator. In that case she 
wishes to send SMS to that network using GSM and to all the others using a 
WebSMS connector. Usually one can infer the network operator of a given contact 
from its phone number.

Therefore, the best interface that came to my mind is to allow the user to 
define an arbitrary number of rules using wildcards and linking them to GSM or 
a WebSMS connector. The most specific rule would be the one to match.

Here is an example of a set of rules for a user in Portugal with free SMS for 
the Vodafone network (91):
+35191* -> Use GSM.
+351* -> Use WebSMS connector FOO
* -> Use WebSMS connector BAR
