I am trying to set up an SMS gateway on my computer
here's some code I found:
AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGL="ALL"
+CMGL: 1,"REC READ","+85291234567",,"06/11/11,00:30:29+32"
Hello, welcome to our SMS tutorial.
+CMGL: 2,"REC READ","+85291234567",,"06/11/11,00:32:20+32"
A simple demo of SMS text messaging.
OK
can this be done in windows?
what steps do I have to take in order to set this up?
what is the compiler?
how do I get started?
These are AT commands, which are used with modems (or cell phones) who support that interface.
If you cell phone is connected to your computer by serial, you can open a HyperTerminal/Telnet/etc and communicate with it via AT commands.
There is no compiler or such, as this is merely a protocol for communicating with supporting devices.

I want to send SMS ideally using PHP in a Linux Environment. I have a GSM modem which I want to use to send SMS.
Can anybody please tell me an easy way to send SMS from Linux using a USB GSM modem?
Thank you
Your GSM modem will almost certainly support AT commands - you can see some history of AT, or Hayes, commands here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_command_set
The commands supported can vary from device to device but the simplest command sequence to send an SMS message is fairly standard - an example, showing the communication over the serial port, is:
AT+CMGF=1. [you send this]
OK [Modem responds]
AT+CMGS="+31628870634". [you send this]
> Yourtextmessage.→. [Modem responds with > and you send text followed by return at end]
+CMGS: 198 [Modem responds after a few moments when message is sent]
You should be able to find many more examples with a quick search including using PHP - e.g. (at the time of writing): https://gonzalo123.com/2011/03/21/howto-sendread-smss-using-a-gsm-modem-at-commands-and-php/
Its worth being aware that different modems may work differently - you will need to experiment to ensure you have a relabel solution.
I am trying to make a little bash script that will activate call forwarding to some number on some condition using mobile broadband dongle connected to the usb port.
I can easily send sms messages, call USSD codes using either mmcli (ubuntu) or gammu, but I cannot run MMI codes. These codes have very similar syntax to USSD but are not the same.
Can I send MMI codes using any command line tool? If yes - how?
You can manage call forwarding directly by Gammu, see http://wammu.eu/docs/manual/gammu/#cmdoption-gammu-arg-divert
I am trying to Read SMS through HSDPA Modem. I Tried
AT+CMGR=1
AT+CMGR=123
AT+CMGR="ALL'
AT+CMGR="REC ALL"
AT+CMGL="ALL"
Commands but No Sucess. Is Any problem with serialport configuration or something else Any other possible solution please help me

Once you have connected your terminal emulator to your modem (typically /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux), try AT. If you get an OK or ERROR that means you have no problem with serial port configuration because the modem is responding to you. If you get nothing (ei, no reply from the modem), then you probably have a serial connection or modem hardware issue. Personnaly I'm using miniterm.py (on Linux) and the configuration is
maurice#mickey> sudo miniterm.py -e /dev/ttyUSB0`
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0: 9600,8,N,1 ---
Just as yours.
Regarding reading the SMSes, at+cmgl=? should reply either ERROR or a list of statuses. If you get ERROR, this means your modem doesn't accept SMS. Otherwise you should get something like +cmgl: ("REC UNREAD","REC READ","STO UNSENT","STO SENT","ALL")
Now, if you issue at+cmgr, the answer should look like
+CMGL: 8,"REC UNREAD","+XXXXXXXXXXXX",,"16/02/19,19:52:07+12"
Test 1
+CMGL: 9,"REC UNREAD","+XXXXXXXXXXXX",,"16/02/19,19:52:16+12"
Test 2
where +XXXXXXXXXXXX is the sender MSISDN and "Test 1" is the message sent in the SMS (its content). Again, if you get ERROR, that means your modem doesn't accept SMSes. If you have sent some SMSes but the list is empty, maybe SMS are blocked on the HLR for this specific SIM.
To read the 8th SMS, issue at+cmgr=8 and you should get
+CMGR: "REC READ","+XXXXXXXXXXXX",,"16/02/19,19:52:07+12"
Test 1
OK
I want to send / receive sms using AT commands from my computer to my mobile phone. I connected my phone to my computer using a USB port. My computer detects the modem and I am able to send sms from the computer to mobile phone. However, I am not able to receive sms in my computer..
I am presenting a sample of what I get from AT editor
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CNMI=1,2,0,0,0
Error
What can I do to send this prob and why am I getting this Error?
Every phone has different capabilities so you should check which values for each parameter are valid for your phone by sending it a
AT+CNMI=?
For example my phone doesn't support your example because mode 1 is not supported. For the full syntax of +CNMI you can consult the AT Manual of your manufacturer or the ETSI standard or read this brief tutorial http://www.cellular.co.za/at_etsi.htm
AT+CNMI is used anyway just to get a notification when a SMS arrives, in order to read the content of the stored SMS you have to use AT+CMGL= or AT+CMGR=.
Briefly:
AT+CMGF=1 ;sets the text mode
AT+CMGL=? ;tells you which memories are available
AT+CSCS=? ;tells you which character sets are available
AT+CSCS="8859-1" ;sets Latin1 as the charset so that you can see eventually accented letters
AT+CMGL="ALL" ;prints every text message you have stored in your phone
Most of the phones returns Error when some special AT command sent to them and +CNMI is one of that command. It will return error also when send AT+CNMI=?.
So forget Phones buy a GSM Modem based on RS232 or USB and then try it again.
I have Mio A701 communicator that I would like to use as GSM modem for sending SMS from my Mac.
What I've found so far is that one just can send an AT commands directly from terminal to special ports like /dev/ttyUSB0 if modem is connected via USB port or /dev/rfcomm0 if connection is handled via bluetooth.
My problem is that when I try to issue a command I get a "permission denied" response:
"AT+CMGS=test\r" > /dev/ttyUSB0
-bash: /dev/ttyUSB0: Permission denied
Also "ls /dev" shows that neither ttyUSB0 nor rfcomm0 files are present there so I can't update permissions on these files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Update: problem is solved.
First of all Mio A701 appears to be wrong choice since it does not support AT commands for sending SMS.
This PHP code works fine with Nokia 3310c connected via bluetooth:
$number="<phone number in international format with + sign>";
$message="Hello World\ntest"; // as far as I've tested \n successfully turns into a line break in SMS on Mio, Nokia and Alcatel phones
$port="/dev/tty.phone"; // this path was set in "Mac preferences" -> bluetooth -> "configure ports" for selected device
if($fd = fopen($port, 'a')) {
fwrite($fd, "AT+CMGF=1\r"); // text mode for SMS
sleep(2);
fwrite($fd, "AT+CMGS=\"$number\"\r");
sleep(2);
fwrite($fd, "$message\032");
sleep(2);
$fh = null;
} else
echo "Phone unreachable";
best way to send sms and ussd messages is to install smstools3 (not smstools) and build on the sample scripts.
Try smsd utility from smstools package, hope it will help
