Hi guys,
I've been pondering, for a while, how soon it will be possible to deliver a Drupal users login details by SMS (instead of or as an option to email).
After doing a bit of digging, it's possible using an SMS Gateway and a bit of tweaking of the user.module- almost all the SMS gateways I looked at allow you to send an SMS by sending a specially formatted email to an assigned email address.
Just wondering if there are any other Drupallers out there looking into the mobile side of Drupal..in particular:
(a) mobile micropayments - allowing users to buy things (in particular downloads) from a Drupal site using their mobile phone. especially low-value items, like a music download or an item that costs less than €1.99, which is a pain to have to use a credit/debit card for.
(b) Wap/IMODE push - extending a Drupal site (using the ecommerce suite and file.module contrib) to sell and deliver ringtones/mobile content to a mobile phone. (at the moment that's do able for truetones using the file.module/normal payment methods and a simple WAP theme for delivery)
(c) mobile registration - allowing users to register using their mobile (i.e. instead of their email address, their mobile phone number is used).
(d) mobile blogging - allowing users to update their blogs/image gallery/video gallery using their mobile (which is doable at the moment using the mailhandler.module and using email as the delivery mechanism)
