plivo-custom-access-sms

This app internally uses plivo SMS API. With this app you can allow other to send message using you credentials along with some restriction.
Admin view of this app allows you to generate a random pass code.
This code can be given out to customers
And on the SMS test UI they can just put in this pass code and send SMS wherever they wish to.
The pass code lasts for 20 mins from the time they are generated by admin.
Admin view is protected by BASIC AUTH.

Keep them in a safe place
Now buy a number. Yes for sending an SMS through plivo you need to have a number bought from plivo which would be used as a callerId for sending message.
When asked for which application the number should be attached to you are free to attach any application as for sending SMS using API doesn't application attached with the number donesn't affect. And Yes you can always attach another application to a number(Plivo DID) as and when needed.
Now to send SMS you can use your auth_id and auth_token in the following scripts of your preferred programming language:
Python
PHP
Ruby
Java
nodeJs

Also with certain providers we see some messages get blocked because of some restrictions on rates or content/type of SMS. Like for Verizon we have received suggestions from our provider: Please do not send more than 10 messages in a 1 minute period with the same origination and/or termination number. Typically, this spam block will be on for 24 hrs.
