This is where your description should go. Try and limit it to a paragraph or two, and maybe throw in a mention of what PSRs you support to avoid any confusion with users and contributors.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require shengamo/zmsms
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The process of the plugin is first to check if you have enough balance to send out the number of SMS's you would like to send out. If you have enough, the messages will be sent but if you do not have enough remaining you will receive a response of "Insufficient balance".

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Shengamo\Zmsms\ZmsmsServiceProvider"
```

Add the following environment variables to your `.env` file:

```
ZMSMS_GATEWAY_BASE_URL=https://zmsms.online/api/v1/
ZMSMS_GATEWAY_USERNAME=your_user_name
ZMSMS_GATEWAY_PASSWORD=password
```

### Sending SMS

[](#sending-sms)

Example usage on how to send SMS from your app

```
use Shengamo\Zmsms\Facades\Zmsms;

Zmsms::sendSMS('senderId', 'Message', ['zambia_mobile number e.g. 0760123456']);
```

Ensure your sender ID is already registered on zmSMS or the package will return an error.

```
use Shengamo\Zmsms\Facades\Zmsms;

Zmsms::sendSMS('Shengamo', 'Hello from Zmsms!', ['0971977252', '0776639088']);
```

### Checking Balance

[](#checking-balance)

```
use Shengamo\Zmsms\Facades\Zmsms;

// Example usage to check SMS balance
$balance = Zmsms::getBalance();
echo "Current SMS balance: " . $balance['response_description'];
```
