Source Code to Read In from GSM Modem

Gareth37 · 09-02-2007 08:39PM #1

Hi,

Ive bought a GSM modem to receive SMS text messages. I need to read the SMS message (the PDU header?) . I have some C and C++ programming experience (enough to do this I think with some pointers and/or source code).

Is there anyone out there who has done this sort of thing before?

Any sound advice would be a great help because there does not seem to be much on this topic on the Internet (not in simple terms anyway).

Thanks.

What make/model is the modem? Did you get any documentation? This should give you info about the AT commands (assuming that's the interface it uses).

I will look at this. Seems to be quite heavy. But I will try to work out what is going on from the documentation.

I don't think I could do any better than what the Kannel source code has to offer. Your modem is even in the supported hardware list. There's a batch of sms*.c files under the smsgateway directory. There appears to be a few different protocols in use with regard to the header.

Thanks father I will have a go at this.

I did something like this a while back in VB.. read the SMS inbox over COM/IR/Bluetooth

And sent as well. If i can find it i will post it up for you

Hey,

i did something like this before in C#. Usually these modems work with the AT command interface.you send these commands to the port that the modem is connected to (usually a COM port) and interpret the responses (just like any typical protocol).

Search google for AT commands related to what you want to do.

Here is a page of sample commands - http://www.activexperts.com/activcomport/at/nokia/
