           Summary: Add SMS via email as an alternative to SMS services
                    via SMS::Send drivers
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: kyle at bywatersolutions.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: Notices
           Product: Koha

Nearly all cellular providers allow a person to send an text message to a
cellular phone by sending an email to phonenumber at provider. We can leverage
this capability to add the ability for Koha to send sms messages to patrons
without the need to subscribe to an sms gateway server.

Basic plan:
1. Add a table sms_providers to the db to tell Koha what service providers are
available, and what domain emails should be sent to.
2. Add borrowers.sms_provider_id to tell Koha which mobile service the patron
subscribes to for the number given in smsalertnumber
3. Modify Koha to send an email rather than using SMS::Send if the driver is
set to 'Email'
