This doesn't work for me when sending to odd length numbers. When sending to 88555, after ~30 seconds I get a report saying "Could not deliver to 885551".
It does work after changing the 'except' clause to:

Code:

                octet = (15 << 4) | digit_1

That script is shauns and pendes script put together with the addition of CLI arguments so the caveats that are mentioned here
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=23
apply to that script too. I recommend using one of the later more robust methods in the thread.

Sadly the paraiso.dk domain is no longer active. I would have liked to see the changes made in that code.

Despite my inexperience with Python I tried using TpSession, but kept getting "ImportError: No module named QtMobility.Messaging". I couldn't find a package to satisfy this dependency; python2.5-mobility-common and libqtm-messaging seemed the only likely candidates, but didn't help. Any clues gratefully received.

Working on an Emacs way now, it should be easy. Complications only for converting UTF-8 text to hex etc. but will get it done...

Hello, I'm trying to get arguments to your script with command line,
exactly:
import sys
phonenumber = sys.argv[1]
message = sys.argv[2]

How can I put variables phonenumber and message in:
child.send('at+cmgs="+XXXXXXX"\r');
child.send('SMSTEXTSMSTEXTSMSTEXT');
?

Thanks in advance for any help!

apt-get install phone-control (Mo-AG Strikes again!)

I didn't think the current release (0.2-4 in devel) of phone-control could send an SMS? Is there some undocumented feature?

I made this just for fun.

Code:

Usage: 
  smssend [options] -n +39xxxxxx:+39xxxxxx -m "Text"
Options:
  -c      : compose message with conversation

You can send the same message to multiple numbers (separate each number with ":").
Messages longer than 160 characters should be splitted in more than one message.

To use this utility you need to run it as root (or use the -c option, which works also as user)
If you want to run it as user:

Code:

chmod 4555 /usr/bin/pnatd

You can find it here:

Works a treat for me! The only thing I'd say is that if I use the -c option the message doesn't send, it just prefills the text box. Is there any way you could auto send with the -c option? Using it without seems to work well but then I don't get a record of the text in my conversation window.
Thank you!

It's possible to send the message using conversation, but it makes no sense in my opinion, because the QtMobility implementation always open the conversation app also when the message has been sent.
Since I think it's confusing for the user I preferred to just compose it and let the user push the "send" button.
