Setup SMS Phone

I'm using Sony K770i and Sony VGN-CR11GH laptop and running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on this project.
We are going to use the mobile phone as SMS sending/receiving device and use MySQL as data storage and use Ruby On Rails to manage the data.

1.Install the needed softwares
sudo apt-get install gnokii
sudo apt-get install gnokii-smsd
sudo apt-get install gnokii-smsd-mysql

2.Connect the phone
Connect the phone via USB and type dmesg, In my case, my phone connected either in /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyACM1.

3. Edit /etc/gnokiirc to change the phone device and model to AT
# Set port to the physical port used to connect to your phone.
# Linux version is:
port = /dev/ttyACM0

# Set model to the model number of your phone. For the
# Symbian phones use:
# model = symbian
# For other non-Nokia phones and when you want to use AT
# mode use:
model = AT

Save the file

4. Test the phone
gnokii --identify

bazet@bazet:~$ gnokii --identify
