  $sms->smsType('2');
  $sms->smsDeliverydate('200608141803');  # Send SMS at 2006/08/14 PM 06:03.

Set the username, password and authcode in one go.

  $sms->login('my_pchome_username', 'my_pchome_password', 'my_pchome_authcode');

  # is basically a shortcut for

  $sms->username('my_pchome_username');
  $sms->password('my_pchome_password');
