    """
    def __init__(self):
        self.client = MyClient(settings.KEY, settings.SECRET)

    def send_sms(self, message, from_, to):
        self.client.send_message(message, from_, to)

Usage

SMS_BACKEND = 'sms.backends.console.SMSBackend'

2. call send_sms

from sms import send_sms

send_sms(text, from_, to)

sms.original_sms_backend = settings.SMS_BACKEND
settings.SMS_BACKEND = 'sms.backends.locmem.SMSBackend'
sms.outbox = []

self.assertIn('message', sms.outbox[0]['text'])
