Re: [Libyahoo2-users] Sending SMS to phone using libyahoo

[Tri S. <tr...@us...>]

libyahoo2 doesn't implement SMS yet, so you can't just set the
recipient to some mobile phone number. To implement it yourself, you
first need to validate the phone number (msidn) against
validate.msg.yahoo.com and retrieve the correct carrier given, and
then use the number and carrier to construct YMSG packet to send.

As for id returned by yahoo_init, it actually is just an incremented
reference count of constructed yahoo_datas, so the first init will
always got 1 returned.

Cheers,
Tri S.
