+summary: XMPP to SMS gateway using the Clickatell API
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This module provides and SMS gateway component which uses the Clickatell
+HTTP API to deliver text messages. See clickatell.com for details on
+their services. Note that at present, this is entirely one way: replies
+will either go nowhere or as sms to the source number you specify.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+In prosody.cfg.lua:
+
+    Component "sms.example.com" "sms_clickatell"
+        sms_message_prefix = "some text"
+
+The sms\_message\_prefix is a piece of text you want prefixing to all
+messages sent through the gateway. For example, I use the prefix
+"`[Via XMPP]` " to indicate to recipients that I've sent the message via
+the internet rather than the mobile network. Since my primary use case
+for this component is to be able to send messages to people only
+reachable via mobile when I myself only have internet access and no
+mobile reception, this option allows me to give a hint to my recipients
+that any reply they send may not reach me in a timely manner.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Once you've installed and configured, you should be able to use service
+discovery in your XMPP client to find the component service. Once found,
+you need to register with the service, supplying your Clickatell
+username, password, API ID, and a source number for your text messages.
+
+The source number is the mobile number you want messages to 'originate'
+from i.e. where your recipients see messages coming from. The number
+should be in international format without leading plus sign, or you can
+use some other format if clickatell supports it.
+
+To send text messages to a target number, you need to add a contact in
+the form of `[number]@sms.example.com`, where `[number]` is the mobile
+number of the recipient, in international format without leading plus
+sign, and sms.example.com is the name for the component you configured
+above. For example:
+
+447999000001@sms.yourdomain.com
+
+You should then be able to send messages to this contact which get sent
+as text messages to the number by the component.
