Changelog

First release.

Added#

• A segment counter over the full GSM 03.38 alphabet: the nine extension characters that cost two septets, the UCS-2 fallback, concatenation at 153 and 67 rather than 160 and 70, and emoji counted as two code units. Checked against instasent/sms-counter-php on ten cases including every boundary, with those vectors pinned as a test.
• The half nobody else does: which characters forced Unicode, what they would be replaced with, and what the message would then cost.
• Gsm::sanitise(), which replaces curly quotes, dashes, ellipses and non-breaking spaces with their GSM-7 equivalents and returns what it changed — never silently.
• sms:cost, which prints the encoding, the parts, the offending characters and a total for a campaign at a given rate.
• E.164 normalisation against the country you send from, reading Arabic-Indic and Persian digits, and throwing rather than guessing.
• Sender ID checks as reason codes: length, characters, all-digits, and the countries where an alphanumeric sender must be registered before anything from it is delivered.
• max_parts, refusing a message longer than you are willing to pay for and saying which characters made it that long.
• array, log and http drivers, where http is declarative configuration so a gateway nobody has written a package for is five lines you can check against its documentation.
• A devix-sms notification channel, and Laravel's own HTTP client behind the http driver, so Http::fake() and retries work as they do everywhere else.
• A gateway that is down produces a failed result rather than an exception.
