gsmsmsstore [ -a ] [ --add ] [ -b baudrate ] [ --baudrate baudrate ] [ -c ] [ --copy ] [ -C service centre address ] [ --sca service centre address ] [ -d destination device or file ] [ --destination destination device or file ] [ -h ] [ --help ] [ -I init string ] [ --init init string ] [ -k ] [ --backup ] [ -l ] [ --list ] [ -s source device or file ] [ --source source device or file ] [ -t SMS store name ] [ --store SMS store name ] [ -v ] [ --version ] [ -V ] [ --verbose ] [ -x ] [ --delete ] [ -X ] [ --xonxoff ] { indices } [ phonenumber text ]

DESCRIPTION

gsmsmsstore can store or retrieve SMS messages entries residing in a GSM mobile phone's SMS store to or from a file, add SMS messages to a store, or list the store's contents. Additionally, it is possible to add SMS submit messages to a store.

gsmsmsstore reads entries from the source which can be a mobile phone (if a serial device file is given) or a file (if a file name is given). The source is never modified. gsmsmsstore writes SMS messages to a destination file or device in the case of --copy, --backup, and --add.

The --list option does not change any file but just lists the contents to standard output.

The --backup and --copy options require both source and destination files or devices. The --list option requires a source. The --add and --delete options require a destination file or device.

If "-" is given as the parameter for the --source or --destination options, the SMS store is read from standard input and/or written to standard output, respectively.

SMS message files are not human-readable.

Error messages are printed to the standard error output. If the program terminates on error the error code 1 is returned.

OPTIONS

Adds an SMS submit message with recipient address phonenumber and text text to the destination.
The baud rate to use. The default baudrate is 38400.
This causes the contents of the source to be copied to the destination. After this operation the destination has exactly the same contents as the source. If indices are given on the command line only those SMS messages denoted by the indices are copied to the destination.
Sets the service centre address to use for all SUBMIT SMSs (may not work with some phones).
The destination device or file.
Prints an option summary.
Initialization string to send to the TA (default: "E0"). Note that the sequence "ATZ" is sent first.
This causes those entries to be added from the source to the destination that are not already present in the destination. If indices are given on the command line only those SMS messages denoted by the indices are backed up (ie. added) to the destination.
Prints out the entire contents of the source in human-readable form.
The source device or file.
The name of the SMS store to read from or write to. This information is only used for device sources and destinations. A commonly available message store is "SM" (SIM card).
Prints the program version.
Prints out a detailed progress report.
Delete the SMS messages as denoted by the indices from the destination.
Uses software handshaking (XON/XOFF) for accessing the device.

EXAMPLES

The following command lists all entries in the mobile phone connected to /dev/mobilephone to the standard output:

gsmsmsstore -b 19200 -s /dev/mobilephone -t SM -l

The following adds entries 4, 7, and 10 from the device /dev/mobilephone to the file smsstore:

gsmsmsstore -s /dev/mobilephone -d /home/fred/smsstore


    -t SM -b 4 7 10
