RE: SMS Hardware

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    Just to put my 2p in here - does anyone know of any software that connects to a mobile phone and allows the SMS messages received by the phone to be automatically imported into say Outlook ?? and then deleted from the phone ?

 

     Would be useful for HA control....

Just done this at work.  Used linux and a program called "sms client"
(http://www.styx.demon.co.uk/).  Does as already suggested and dials the
mobile phone providers directly (normally 077xxx number) using a modem
and communicates using the protocol.  Many providers are supported,
cellnet, vodaphone, orange.  Any old modem should do because the
protocol is so slow. e.g. vodaphone at work is 1200 baud !!!

I can give you my web front end if you like.
