smsActivation plugin

[ViagraEnLignes]

Hi there,
I would like to explain you how to use our new smsActivation plugin.
Actually the installation process of this plugin is standard, you have to upload the plugin on your server to ROOT/plugins/directory and click on Install button in your Admin Panel as usual.

At first I have to notice you that SMS sending won't be free for you and you will have to purchase SMS package from SMS service provider and explain what this plugin for and how it works with SMS.
Destination: Using smsActivation plugin you allow your website users to activate own new accounts by sms.

SMS service provider: We have chose Clickattel as SMS provider service, this company provide necessary SMS service for us, also it is covering 819 networks in 221 countries, which is good.

Preparing:
1. smsActivation plugin installation
2. Clickatell account registration & SMS package purchase: http://www.clickatell.com/products/sms_gateway.php
3. After account registration you have to get API ID, you may get it through Clickatell account area.
4. Finally you have: Username, Password and API ID, go to Flynax Admin panel and specify your clickatell account details in configurations >> smsActivation
5. Plugin settings has one more major option, it is "Registration phone field key", you have to list all mobile phone field keys in this option, use ',' as divider if you have more then one mobile phone number field in the registration forms. What does it mean?
Let me explain, this option contains the keys of the fields which uses in registration form and which should be used for mobile phone number detecting, sms plugin should know which fields should be used to send the sms to new user, that is why you have specify it.
NOTICE: option already has "phone" as default field key, this key presents in the default software version, so you may keep it if you did not change registration forms or list your keys if you did make changes.
6. Plugin is ready now!

Usage: Actually it is very simple, user will receive the SMS with 4 digit (can be changed in admin panel) activation number and type this number into the field which will be appeared after registration, account will be activate if the code us correct.

I hope I did not miss anything, feel free to ask if something still not clear or you have any questions.

Also we may change the SMS service provider if some one can suggest cheaper service or free service maybe

Good luck.

Hello,

I would like to review a new plug-in from Flynax (smsActivation)
It's a great option to avoid lot's of Scam & Spam on your website by using this plugin. But, I would like to mention a little cons that involve services with high prices for USA webmasters. In order to use this plugin you must to sign up with "Clickttel" which is prepaid bulk sms service (it's normal). After you sign-up and make your deposit, you will be able to use "smsActivation" plugin.

For USA webmasters only!:
in order to deliver sms messages to USA cell phone numbers, you must sign-up also for "US Dedicated Short Code (DCS)" (required from US Government).

Cons:
- Set-up fee for DCS: $1,700.00 USD
- And monthly fee for DCS: $900.00 - $1,400.00 USD

Basically it became unaffordable for probably most of US webmasters, because of the high rates. So, in this case I find out an alternative:
What if, "Flynax Team" will add an additional option such as "Phone Verification" (PV) instead of SMS. PV system (process) will make a phone call with activation code.
I also found a most cheaper company that provided such service: http://www.onverify.com/phone-verification-features
(you must to sign-in in order to obtain a php code from http://www.onverify.com)

This function is also beneficial to European webmasters , because their users can activate accounts from their home phone (landlines).

I hope all other Flynax users will vote for this changes, and Flynax Team will take this point into process for all users.

Thank you
