Forget sending SMSes; send emails.

I have e-mail on some of my events, it is registered there, but i don't get e-mail. Do you think you know why?

Forget sending SMSes; send emails.
If there is enough interest, at some point we may add the possibility to send Telegram messages from the calendar. Telegram is open source and has a good API. This would be much better, more flexible and free.

Can I send e-mail in this Format? >>> lunariouis87@icloud.com

I have at this moment contact with only one such "SMS carrier API" company, Stix Utvikling AS, they says: "Access to API for sending SMS costs 40$/month, and quantity SMS under 5000 is 0,48$ pr. SMS..."

What do you think?

LuxCal supports SMS carrier APIs, which require for each SMS an email in the following format:

<pre><mobile number><post>@<smscarrier.xxx>

where:
<pre> is optional free format text required by some carriers
<mobile number> is the SMS destination
<post> is free format text, often a passwprd required by the carrier
<smscarrier.xxx> is the SMS carrier mail address

The email message is the SMS message to be forwarded to the destination.

IMPORTANT: Sending SMSes cost money. sensing emails is free.

Answers to your questions:
1. I don't know. The best way is to search the web and look what other Nowegians suggest. Before you sign up with a provider (SMS carrier)  you should always ask them for a trial user account with some credits (e.g. 1 €) so that you can test if it works with the LuxCal calendar.
2. By checking and reading the documentation on their websites.
3. LuxCal works via an API which sends an email. The email address part before the @ can contain a username/password, or user ID and the part after the @ is the SMS carrier (the provider).

Do you mean at 3 like Mustafa@AltusHost.com?

Hi.

I am Mustafa from Norway. I am not so confident about "mail2sms service provider".

1. How do I find the most reasonable: mail2sms service provider.
2. How do I understand how mail2sms service provider works?
3. How do I connect mail2sms service provider to luxcal on my Webpage?

Thank you on pre-hand
