Sending smses via my web2py

[mostwanted]

I am failing to send smses with my app following the book example (http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/08/emails-and-sms#Emails-and-SMS) which i felt was straight forward, is there something extra must include in my controller code?

MY CODE

def send_sms():
    from gluon.contrib.sms_utils import SMSCODES, sms_email
    email = sms_email('+000 (00) 000-000','Orange')
    mail.send(to=email, subject='sms test', message='testing testing 123')

Regards

Have you asked your service provider ? Do they provide this kind of service?

A better way is to use the phone companies themselves to relay the SMS. Each phone company has an email address uniquely associated with every cell-phone number, so SMS messages can be sent as emails to the phone number.
