Here is our initial requirement, what we need before setting up free SMS gateway:

1. A computer, we use the OS Windows XP. I use Win XP on laptop Byon Centrino Duo, 2G RAM.
2. A gsm modem or mobile phone that can work as a gsm modem. I use Sony Ericsson K750i with the number IM3
3. Cable or bluetooth connection to the HP computer. I’m using the cable that comes with SE K750i
4. Driver mobile phone or PC suite; the author using the PC suite that is available in the sales package SE K750i
5. A mobile phone to send sms; I’m using Motorolla W150i with a number Fren
6. A software as a gateway. I use nowsms
7. Apache, MySQL and PHP; I use appserv 2.5.7

The first step is to install appserv on our computer.

1. Test in the browser by typing http://localhost, is already showing? If already showing some webpage, means Webserver webserver is already setup.
2. Type the test again next http://localhost/phpmyadmin. If it means that PHP is the way and MySQLnya already functioning well

Step two is to connect the phone to the computer. Do not forget to install the driver or HP’s PC Suite. Make sure the computer and HP already well connected.

Step three is to install NowSMS. File installer Now SMS / MMS gateway is comon 7.42 MB and can be easily downloaded in http://www.nowsms.com. Software is paid but we can try for free and full functionality for 60 days.

Once we install we will get interface like this:

Four step is to add a modem gsm / HP :

1. click Add
2. Select Phone or GSM modem and click OK

Select the modem and we fill pin, the SE default PIN is 1234. Click Test and add a modem. If any posts appear successful modem successfully tested!

Step five is to setting up SMSC connection:

1. Click on the menu at the top of the SMSC
2. SMSC connection you select, these cases are added is the new Sony Ericsson 750 USB WMC Modem.
I want to add other devices to stay a step to follow the four
3. Click properties and fill in the phone number in the modem / HP SE K750i (in this case the number IM3)
4. check receive SMS Messages

5. Click OK

Step six is to run the SMS gateway service:

1. Click Service in the menu on the nowsms program.
2. Sms gateway then check run as a service.
3. You will dimintai approval and nowsms will restart itself automatically to run as a service.
following SMS picture which is now functioning as a service:

Step seven is to try to send sms through the web interface:

1. By default sms now running on the localhost or the ip address 127.0.0.1 with port 8800
2. We open a browser and type the following address: http://localhost:8800
3. interface will appear like this:

4. Fill Text and phone number and click submit
5. Now you have sent the SMS to the recipient’s number

Are you satisfied now with this? I’m not though. Let us now connect the sms with PHP and MySQL. (But sorry, I make a cup of tea first with Samosa. Hungry …)

Now connect the sms / mms gateway with PHP and MySQL:

SMS will be sent later with the W150i phone that functions as an sms. HP and received K750i (gsm modem) is forwarded to the computer that received sms gateway sms now and then forwarded to the php script. PHP script and then proceed to save the MySQL database.

The first step is to create a database with the name mysql nowsms

1. http://localhost/phpmyadmin type in the browser to open phpmyadmin
2. type the name of the database, here we paka name nowsms

# And enter the sql code to create this table with the name of the inbox column consists of 2 ps and the contents

view plain print

1.
2. CREATE TABLE `inbox` (
3. `id` int (5) NOT NULL auto_increment,
4. `content` text NOT NULL,

5. PRIMARY KEY ( `id`)
6. ) Engine = MyISAM default charset = UTF8 AUTO_INCREMENT = 4;

CREATE TABLE `inbox` ( `id` int (5) NOT NULL auto_increment, `content` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY ( `id`)) engine = MyISAM default charset = UTF8 AUTO_INCREMENT = 4;
# Following data structures …. (sorry bgt simple to facilitate the understanding of …)

Step two is to create a PHP script which include sms to MySQL database

1. open windows explorer to create a new directory with the name nowsms
2. What’s the author URL is C: AppServwwwnowsms

3. and create a index.php file with the name of the contents as follows:
view plain print
1.
2nd / / Database settings
3. $ DB_Host = “localhost”;
4. $ db_user = “root”;
5. $ db_pass = “sipit”;
6. $ db_name = “nowsms”;
7.
8. / / Connect to the database
9. $ link = mysql_pconnect ($ DB_Host, $ db_user, $ db_pass) or die ( “I can connect”);
10. mysql_select_db ($ db_name) or die ( “I can select the database”);
11.
12. / / Trim inputan. This also eliminates the problem does not
13. $ content = trim ($ content);
14.
15. / / insert to table inbox
16. $ sql = “INSERT INTO inbox
17. SET id =”,
18. content = ‘$ content’ “;
19. $ query = mysql_query ($ sql);
20. ?>

4. Complete (do not forget extensinya is *. php so if the notepad select save as typenya as all the files, and give the name of index.php)

step three is to set the settings in sms now

1. Select 2-Way in the top menu
2nd Check process received sms message
3. The contents of SMS command prefix with an asterisk * or Asterix or (*_*;)
mean all sms will be processed. if you want to command a certain prefix please fill AFI for example (so that SMS will be processed with the AFI berawalan only)
4. contents Receive Phone Number (s) as you fill in the SMSC connection earlier. (IM3 number in the GSM Modem / K750i)
5. Execute the command with the contents: http://localhost/nowsms/index.php?isi = @ @ @ @ FULLSMS
6. click ADD
7. Click Apply
8. Done

The applications of the SMS gateway can be searched and downloaded from the internet. You would be able to found a number of SMS gateway applications from the various platforms.

One of them that will be discussed in this article is Gammu, As we are going to use Gammu application for sms gateway, because apart from we can download free also it’s easy to configure and can be use in both i.e. Windows and Linux. Another reason is to use Gammu is because MySQL can be used. But here we will discuss that how we can setup SMS gateway using Gammu with Linux.
.
The mobile phone that succeeded in being tried by me is Nokia 3310 and Siemens C35i using Linux platform.

Before installation is done, first read information repeatedly about Gammu here:

http://www.mwiacek.com/gsm/soft/gammu.html

Have you gathered the information?
OK.
.
Now let’s gather the requirement to develop the SMS Gateway using Gammu.

Download Gammu.

1. gammu.tar.gz
Download the gammu package from: www.mwiacek.com/zips/gsm/gammu/gammu.tar.gz

# wget www.mwiacek.com/zips/gsm/gammu/gammu.tar.gz

2. Web Server (If you have webserver, don’t ignore this, if not yet then you must install first apache, myslq, php)

3. The Nokia mobile phone 3310 or Siemens C35i. For other mobiles phone please read again:

http://www.mwiacek.com/gsm/soft/gammu.html

Gammu supports various types of the mobile phones. How come? look this: Gammu currently supports: majority of Nokia phones from DCT3 generation with Nokia operating system – for example Nokia 3210, 3310, 3315, 3410, 5110, 5130, 6110, 6510, 6610, 7210, 8310
Many AT devices – for example many Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Alcatel models, Alcatel from BE5/BF5/BH4 generation – for example 501, 511, 512, also some functions with OBEX and Symbian devices

4. The Serial cable for the mobile phone

If you have successfully downloaded gammu.tar.gz, please extract it:

#tar xvfz gammu.tar.gz

After extracted automatically you will find the folder gammu-1.08.00, now enter into the extracted folder.

#cd gammu-1.08.00

Before installation make a custom read README, INSTALL, etc.

#. /configure

#make

Here must be paid attention by you whether being that error or not if the error occurs that means a significant library mysql you are still being more incomplete, usually an error that appear was found when MySql doesn’t support the gammu. (his installation process repeatedly try to find the mysql library which is needed)

#make shared
#make install
#make installshared

Further it’s necessary for you to upgrade the “library”

# vi/etc/ld.so.conf
Add the library link /usr/local/lib to file ld.so.conf, once you have done upgrade the library:

#/sbin/ldconfig

Note: If you did not find any error to this stage means you have successfully installed the Gammu sms Gateway.

Now tried to enter again into the folder where you extracted gammu.tar.gz and copy the available files in folder /docs/example/config/* here you will find 3 files by the name of gammurc, mysql.sql, smsdrc and gammurc.

Copy the gammurc and smsdrc into the /etc directory

#cp gammurc smsdrc /etc/

Further search edited file like this:

[gammu]
port = /dev/ttyS0 #if you are using COM2 then substitute it with ttyS1
#model = 6110 #model of mobile phone was ignored by you, because it doesn’t need often to mention the phone model.
connection = fbus #With Nokia mobile phone connection should be fbus if you used the Siemens mobile phone then substitute the fbus with at19200
#synchronizetime = yes
#logfile = gammulog
#logformat = textall
#use locking = yes
#gammuloc = locfile
#startinfo = yes
#gammucoding = utf8
#rsslevel = teststable
#usephonedb = yes

If you are still confused, inside the gammurc file it has the guidance available. If you are lazy to edit the file, then you can get the file from www.posmetropadang.com/gammu/gammurc

Now confirm if the data cable and your mobile phone are connected to port COM1 to your computer, if everything is just fine, run the following command.

#gammu –identify

I hope you could see output as being supervised here:

Manufacturer : Nokia
Model : 3310 (NHM-5)
Firmware : 06.33 F (28-11-03)
Hardware : 1012
IMEI : 350835608671298
Original IMEI : 350835608671298

Simlock 4 : MSIN 0000000001, opened, factory, counter 0
MSID : 830d50880846870ebedd126096
MCU checksum : 9C79
DSP ROM : 6

If you got the connection info like above gammu means Gammu detected your mobile phone and now you can continue to the next step.

Now let’s configure that how all the phone’s SMS’s will be kept by MySQL database to put forward on the webpage using php scripts.

OK further bro… our work has almost finished, possibly have some coffee or cigarettes that could disrupted previously hehe…??

Now try to open the file smsdrc that you copied earlier to directory /etc

#vi /etc/smsdrc

[smsd]
PIN = 1234
logfile = smsdlog
commtimeout = 1
sendtimeout = 10

Search and edit the part that you configured in the mysql database:

# ————————- SETTINGS FOR –smsd MYSQL —————————
user = root
password = password_mysql_user
pc = localhost
database = Database_name

Note: The above lines are to make connection with mysql database.

Now enter to the directory /docs/example/config/ and get the file ‘mysql.Sql’, that is a table structure. Now put this file to the database that we are creating in the MySQL database for SMS gateway.

For sms database
#mysqladmin –u root –p create sms

To create tables for gammu grab the file ‘mysql.sql’

#mysql –u root –p <>

Or it can be easier for you if you make Gammu tables through phpadmin.

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Once you are finished, you can start the smsd deamon:

#gammu –smsd MYSQL/etc/smsdrc

The Log filename Is “smsdlog”
Press Ctrl+C to stopped the program …

After the issuing above command if output is like above means your SMS gateway is done successfully and you can use it according to your requirements. And all the available sms in your mobile phone will be entered inside the mysql database.

For your further stage is to putting forward your SMS’s to the web which is using php scripts, The required php script can be downloaded from

http://www.syednetworks.com/gammu-sms-gateway.zip

You must edit the SMS database info in the sms.php file.
If all goes well, now you can open the SMS’s through your favorite browser:

http://localhost/sms.php

Now what must be done by you??
The smsd service deamon must be running to grab the SMS’s from the phone and you and you could see on the web.

Create a Gammu startup script.sh and place it in the directory /usr/local/Bin/#cd/usr/local/bin/

#vi gammu.sh

File contents are as follows:
#! /bin/sh
export LANG=da
DK
/usr/local/bin/gam you –smsd MYSQL/etc/smsdrc

After edited that file open /etc/inittab

#vi /etc/inittab

And add the below line in the inittab

GA:345:respawn:/usr/local/bin/gammu.sh

Wow… was long enough also, hmmm hopefully did not have the problem ya… now finished your coffee, until you finished developed the SMS Gateway by using Gammu.
If you are having comments and questions, do not hesitate, just feel free to ask.
