Alternatives

• sbd-rs: Handles the Mobile-Originated side of the SBD protocol and provides a server to listen for incoming MO messages . It was visionary to use Rust in 2015! (@gadomski, 2015)
• sbd_lib: I believe it contains some elements of the sbd-rs crate, extending to MT messages while using serde to serialize and deserialize. Some interesting uses of the language beyond the basics. (@a1ien, 2018)
• sbd.py This is a Python solution with a lot of information on the protocol and concepts. Very useful independent of the language you will use. (@cxed, 2016)
