I think this is the operating system that could compete with other operating systems already on the market as the Palms operating system for Windows, Windows Mobile.

It began in 2003 when Nokia buys a percentage of their stake in Motorola on this operating system, which had already been created, after some time I buy a Sony Ericsson half of its actions in this project and in 2008 bought with it being symbian the participation of 52%, after this, in conjunction with Nokia and other corporations agreed to create the Symbian Foundation and to make it an open source project like other programs and open source applications.

At present most of the Nokia phones have this operating system, ie Series 60, supriores and the N series, however the Sony Ericsson operating system used on some Walkman phones that have staff and organization among them are: W960, P800, P802, P910, P990, P1i, P900, W950, G705, G900 and M600i. But other manufacturers of phones that use this operating system are very scarce, for example Motorola uses it in their models: A925, A1000, A1010, Z8, Z10, A920, A728. Another case is the manufacturer Samsung that uses Symbian in their models: SGH-G810, SGH-i450, SGH-i550, SGH-i520, SGH-i560, SGH-i8510, SGH-D720 and SGH-D730. Panasonic only uses it in their X700 and X800 models. Siemens also uses it in his model SX1.

On this operating system, its user interface has five different versions of this operating system, are the series 60, Series 80, Series 90 and Series 40 are the most commonly used for phones from Nokia, UIQ Technology is used in phones like Sony Ericsson is unlike the other version it includes the ability to use touch screens as the property of the machine, applications can be created in C + + and Java and I also can modify their code because it is Open Source.

To install Java and Symbian cell only a must download the file and pass it through USB, if you’re interested in downloading games and applications, I recommend visiting this page (http://www.javasymbian.org/), where you find different programs in Java and Symbian, obviously you have to have some of the brands put more up, and if you have any questions on how to install, go to the forum where there are tutorials for each model. If you want to see it in English you can see it from here (http://symbianapplications.net/) also has very good applications and tutorials for each brand of phone.

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

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.
