Long time reader, first time poster...

Does anyone have any experience sending/receiving SMS messages with
Sinatra? Or with ruby on some other framework? If so, do you have any
advice or could you point me to any good info?

I apologize for the non-specific question but I just wanted to poll
the group for any advice before I really get started.

Thanks!

Look into Twilio. The ruby to send a message is dead simple using their gem:

def send_sms
account = Twilio::RestAccount.new(TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID, TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN)

recipients.each do |r|

opts = {
:To => r.phone_number,
:From => FROM_NUMBER,
:Body => self.message
}

resp = account.request("/#{API_VERSION}/Accounts/#{TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID}/SMS/Messages",
'POST', opts)
end
end
