Setup Instructions 

   1. Add this this one line to the controller you want to be able to

use SMSFu in. 

      class ExampleController < ApplicationController
        include SMSFu
      end

   2. Modify sms_fu.yml in your config folder with your reply-to e-mail
 address.

    That's it! Now you're good to go.

Example Usage 

    * You have to send in the phone number, without any non-numeric
 characters. The phone numbers must be 10 digits in length.
    * The two required parameters are the phone number and the phone carrier.
    * Carrier values are located in the sms_fu.yml file.
      deliver_sms("5558675309","at&t","your message here")

    * You can also truncate the length of the message you are sending

by specifying the limit option. 

   deliver_sms("5558675309","at&t","your message here", :limit => 128)

    *  If you want to roll your own mailer, you can just choose to receive
 the formatted SMS e-mail address only.

   get_sms_address("5558675309","at&t")'

    Nobody pays through the delivery since it goes through e-mail.

    brad - The message is sent through e-mail, so no third party gateway is needed.

    Brad, it's sent through e-mail so there's no payment for the delivery.
