I'll add an argument to pass the pin to the program.

Or maybe as you say it's stored somewhere (I'm not sure that this information is easily available, it shouldn't...)

I finally got around to trying your SMS sender, sakya. From the small amount of testing I've done so far it seems good, but both of the >160 character tests I've tried so far (without the compose dialog) have failed. In both cases I got this output (same number of dots each time too):

Code:

WARNING: SMS exceding 160 characters
         Splitted in 2 parts
Sendind SMS:
[1/2]....
ERR: Failed to send text message
[2/2].....OK

My friend's phone gets the second half of the message fine, the first half has not arrived.

The content of the text, if it matters, was this:

Code:

1......... 2......... 3......... 4......... 5......... 6......... 7......... 8......... 9......... 10........ 11........ 12........ 13........ 14........ 15........ 16........ 17........ let's see if this all gets through

I've got some suggestions for other improvements but we'll get to those soon.

Not sure if it's a clue, but I looked at the events database and in the remote_uid column for both of the failed >160-char texts contains

Code:

+447

rather than the full number they were sent to (which did start +447 -- not sure where the 0011 character came from).

@tremby: thanks for the feedback.
Can you please try to send the message adding this argument?

Code:

-l logfile.txt

It should log the strings sent/received from pnatd.

Hi

Could somebody help me make a desktop shortcut that sends this through x-term?

Code:

sudo smssend -n 150 -m "Ba"

Just need the desktop shortcut to open x-term, enter the command and then close x-term when done. Could anybody help me with this?

The reason I want this is because my service provider T-Mobile UK only allows me to check my balance using this method. I have to send a text to that number and they reply with my balance. A desktop shortcut that sends the text for me would save me ALOT of time.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Figured it out myself

Thanks for the awesome smssend app though

This time:

Code:

$ smssend -l smslog -n $(num Pat) -m "1........ 2........ 3........ 4........ 5........ 6........ 7........ 8........ 9........ 10....... 11....... 12....... 13....... 14... this was the first half and here is second half. let me know if you got the first half"

The output of that showed two "OK"s.

Here is the log:

Code:

AT
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,0
OK
AT+CMGS="+447xxxxxxxxx"
> 1........ 2........ 3........ 4........ 5........ 6........ 7........ 8........ 9........ 10....... 11....... 12....... 13....... 14... this was the first half 1........ 2........ 3........ 4........ 5........ 6........ 7........ 8........ 9........ 10....... 11....... 12....... 13....... 14... this was the first half 
+CMGS: 219

OK
AT
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,0
OK
AT+CMGS="+447xxxxxxxxx"
> and here is second half. let me know if you got the first halfand here is second half. let me know if you got the first half
+CMGS: 220

OK

He received all the text but with the halves as separate messages, not a single joined message. Is that a known problem? Any plan to implement proper concatenated SMS?

Also, I then note that in the conversations app the message appears as sent to "(null)" and I can't open its conversation window. I looked in the database and I see that everything looks normal except the remote_uid column, which is, in this case (censored):

Code:

447xxxxxxxxx' AND local_uid = 'ring/tel/ring';

Any idea why that's happening?

Yes it is a known problem (I never read about joined sms, but I thought something should be done to join them on the receiver mobile).
I'll read some docs to see if it is feasible.

It happened to me also a couple of times, I'll check if something is wrong.
If you update that record with the correct number all should be fine.

Many thanks again for the feedback.
