Before vodacom made their sms service a subscribe to affair, we had a cool little perl script which allowed us to send sms's from the command line.
Then things changed and now we need to login in. So with the help of WWW::Mechanize, I present vodasms2.
It has all the same functionality as vodasms did, including phonebook support and logging.
The phonebook takes the format of Name:Number one per line e.g.
singe:0821234567
cynic:0721234567
This allows you to send by using the name or number. eg.
vodasms2 singe "foo bar"
or
vodasms2 0821234567 "bar baz"
It requires WWW::Mechanize so make sure you have it installed. If you haven't then put it somewhere and make sure the @INC at the top of the file is pointing to the right place. It is currently pointing to my ~/bin/perldoc .
This whole exercise is probally illegal. On the up side it can be easily modified to support my.tiscali, coming soon.

Many South African Vodacom cell phone users are stuck with a horrid piece of website known as Vodacom4Me. It uses frames and Javascript to ensure some of the slowest load times you can imagine and has a session cookie that expires rather too quickly, le
