How to load test Sign Up API using Jmeter for 100 users where mobile number & email are unique

I have to perform load test on a Sign UP API using Jmeter.
Sign Up asks for:
valid cell # where system sends SMS code for verfication
Valid Email address where user receives a link for verification
Can any one help for this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
It might be tricky, however you can consider a 3rd-party application like Spikko or 2nr and use mobile automation framework like Appium from JSR223 Test Elements in order to get SMS text from the mobile application. If you don't have a real phone you can use an emulator like Bluestacks or Genymotion
For email it is way easier, JMeter comes with Mail Reader Sampler so you can fetch an email from any real box and extract confirmation URL from there, check out How to Create a JMeter Script to Check Email During Registration AND Grab the Confirmation URL for more details.
You probably should use JDBC Request and get from DB the code/link sent.
But if it's not possible, for email you can concatenate to same gmail +${UUID()}. Gmail at least support sending to same mail if have different suffix:
Here are two different ways you can modify your Gmail address and still get your mail:
Append a plus ("+") sign and any combination of words or numbers after your email address. For example, if your name was hikingfan#gmail.com, you could send mail to hikingfan+friends#gmail.com or hikingfan+mailinglists#gmail.com.

Rocketchat adding a name to incoming Twilio SMS numbers

With Rocket.chat and Twilio - the incoming chat 'user' is just a mobile number. This is not very user friendly if multiple conversations are ongoing. Responding to and tracking conversations by name and not phone number is much better if possible.
I have a database that could be used to match the incoming SMS phone numbers to a human name for most of my expected incoming SMS IM's. Trying to figure out the best way to do a lookup and add that to the Twilio # identity so that the 'chat' makes more sense to the in-house user who would be using it.
Appreciate any ideas anyone might have that would save me from re-inventing the wheel w/ Twilio and Rocket.Chat.

I have not used RocketChat for this before, I just took a look through the code to see what I could find.
Turns out, RocketChat has a field for phone number on the user model and when an incoming message is received it looks up a user from their phone number. If the user is found, the message is sent from the user, otherwise a new user is created.
So, what you need to do is merge your database of usernames and phone numbers with the RocketChat User model.
Hope that helps!

How to buy and send sms to unverified phone numbers using twilio api

Am currently developing a web application using Laravel. I have been using twilio trial account to send messages to just one verified phone number and now I want to launch the application and be able to send sms to any phone number filled on the registration page and send an sms to the user after successfully registration. How do i do this to accomplish my task and move on because I am stack and don't know what to do...
I believe Twilio has a limit on whitelisted numbers during the trial period.
Many SMS Gateway providers do this to prevent spammers.
Nexmo, where I work, has an SMS API allows you to easily send SMS messages to phones in over 200 countries.
The API is extremely reliable, safe, & easy to integrate in your application.
All you need to do is make a simple HTTP call.
After signing up for the free trial, there will be a screen in the dashboard where you are allowed to enter up to 10 whitelisted numbers during the trial phase.
Once you top up (reload your account with funds), this restriction is lifted.
Here is some more information on how to integrate it the SMS API with PHP

How to send email with an attachment using Windows Phone 7 API?

My WP7 application requirement is to send the email with an attachment and use device default SMTP settings.
I have tried EmailComposeTask class but it doesn't have any member for attachment.
The other idea, i am thinking is to upload the file on server and then send the email from that server.
What you think if there is no way to send the email with an attachment using WP7 API?
Your observation is correct, at this point in time EmailComposeTask doesn't support attachments and this is the only facility to send email programatically from the device at the moment.
As you note, you can communicate with a server which can perform this task on behalf of your app.
I found a wp7 and wp8 library that does it: http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/marketplace/components/livemailmessage
Try to create web service to send mail in your webserver. so, we can call the from your app to send mail.
I hope upcoming version it will be possible!

I've found this article, but I did not make any test yet.
From the author:
EmailComposeTask won’t allow you to send attachments, but this doesn’t mean that you cannot send files through it. .NET Framework has these two amazing methods: Convert.ToBase64String and Convert.FromBase64String. The first will allow the developer to convert a byte array (byte[]) to a Base64-encoded string, the other one will do the same operation in reverse.

How to send contact form info from a website as mobile SMS?

My client has a website but doesn't check emails often. He has a lot of web enquiries through the online contact form. He carries a mobile phone though. How to send contact form details that's submitted through the website to his mobile phone as SMS?
The quickest and cheapest way is to determine the email address for that person's phone. Almost every cell phone has an email address you can send to which will show up as SMS on the device. This should help you find the email address for each carrier: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/
If you want to send an actual SMS instead of an email, you could try a service like Twilio which makes sending and receiving SMS from your apps easy via a REST API. [Full disclosure: I work at Twilio, but I was a long-time satisfied customer before starting here.]
