Re: [PROPOSAL] Package: SMS (send and recieve SMS through connected cellular device)

Hi Tobi, just a short sidenote: I would like to draw your attention to the "SMS Server Tools", written by Stefan Frings. He's also living here in Germany (Düsseldorf), working for Vodafone and has invested much time in interfacing mobile phones properly (I guess mainly via serial lines) to a professional grade SMS server. He's quite friendly and helpful - so you might wish to take a look at his work and if problems / questions arise you could surely also contact him I guess. You find his "SMS Server Tools" at: http://www.isis.de/~s.frings/smstools_index.html This way you could even integrate a smal-scale layer for directly encoding an SMS with PHP etc. without the need for Gammu. As always, maybe a factory-method could be used to let the user choose if he wants to use Gammu (with extended features) or just send one plain SMS via your direct implementation. You also find additional information on AT-commands, encodings etc. at: www.nobbi.com (sorry, German-only) Cheers, Stefan On 23 Oct 2003 at 0:30, Tobias Schlitt wrote: > Hi PEARers! > > I'm currently working on some SMS sending and recieving stuff and > evaluated some CLI based SMS utilities.
