Hi there… I’m trying to get this to work using a Siemens SX66 that I have. I am running ubuntu, current as of this writing. I installed LAMP stack and that is functioning properly. I installed gammu via apt-get, and it seems to ave installed correctly. But I have a few questions that I have not been able to answer after searching what seems like the only available info on the net for this…
1. Will this phone work? The Siemens SX-66 is an older HTC phone, pocket PC.
2. It is connected via USB, so after running lsusb I get this: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bb4:0a05 High Tech Computer Corp. PocketPC Sync
So what do I take from this to modify my gammu config file with?

I think once I confirm whether or not I can use this device, and then if so, get it properly connected via the gammu config file, I can get going then.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

mysql smsd works fine for me
but problem is runonreceive
not executing the script
checked permissions and stuff
script itself is just a wget

SMS daemon is now in separate binary…..
You are most likely using newer version of gammu. Tru to use older version

“And for database connection you would need to call database from remote server using it’s IP address on port 3306.”

Hi,my database is other computer (ip. 192.168.1.3) but gammu and the modem in other computer (ip. 192.168.1.2).
May I know what should I write down in “smsdrc” config file for item “pc = localhost”?
Thanks a lot for Your Answer..

I was reading the examples of intergammu
and I have some doubts before practice

excuse me by my spelling errors i know speak spanish, little english
maybe we could discuss an interesting topic….

when I’m using Daemon gammu.
this syntax could be:

gammu-smsd -c smsdrc

I can’t get to use the command to send sms gammu because this modem port is occupied by the daemon jaja…
eg when using these commands:

gammu –identify or send sms eg: echo “hello test” | gammu sendsms TEXT number

I get this error:Error opening device. Unknown, busy or no permissions.
This means, i can receive sms but can not send.

The obvious question would be mine. How to use two command at a time?

how to send and receive sms linked at mysql whithout daemon perhaps?

¿Can I send and receive sms without a database attached to a deamon??

my mail is: depechemode585@yahoo.com.ar

This is all thanks ..

greetings!
