#!/usr/bin/python
from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient

account_sid = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
auth_token  = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
client = TwilioRestClient(account_sid, auth_token)
message = client.messages.create(to="+12125551212", from_="+12125551212",

The Twilio approach mentioned by sonnyyu is free for as long as you are on trial period by the way.
(The trial period does not just run out - you have to upgrade if you want to remove "ads", see below.)

A free twilio SMS will look like this when you receive it while on trial.
"Sent from your Twilio trial account - My Message".

Cheers.

When I tried the above install process, configuration, and simple example python script I get the following error:

root@azdserver:~# python sms-googlevoice.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "sms-googlevoice.py", line 5, in voice.login() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyGoogleVoice-0.5.2-py2.7.egg/googlevoice/voice.py", line 104, in login raise LoginError googlevoice.util.LoginError root@azdserver:~#

I've copied and pasted it from my script into Google Voice URL specified in LOGIN= variable above and it works fine so the username and password are correct. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!!

BTW: Previously I had Twilio installed and had that working without any issue but after doing a factory reset on this board I have had problems reinstalling it which is why I am now trying this approach.

Google updated the google voice website. It used to be Voice, but now its https://google.voice.com/u/0/.

Revision 2, twilio solution is best bet.
