Time for Action: Registering on Clickatell
1. Go to www.clickatell.com, and register for an account with it.
2. In the registration process, Clickatell will send you the confirmation codes
via email and SMS. Enter them in to confirm your registration.
3. Now go to www.clickatell.com again and login to Clickatell Central using
your login details.
4. Because Clickatell offers multiple connection types, you need to create a
link first. Go to My Connections from the menu and select to add an HTTP
connection. The following screenshot shows the kind of form you will see.

5. At the minimum, you need to enter a name for this connection. You can also
enter the IP range that can invoke this connection, the default country to send
messages to (so that a zero at the start of the phone number will be replaced
with that country code), and also a URL where status updates can be sent.
6. After submitting the form, you have the new connection set up. Each
connection has an API ID that you need to pass to the gateway while
establishing a connection.
