SMS and EMS commands
Sending messages might look a bit complicated on first attempt to use. But be patient,
the command line has been written in order to allow almost every usage. See EXAMPLE
section for some hints on usage.

There is also an option to use gammu-smsd when you want to send or receive more messages
and process them automatically.

Introduction to SMS formats
Gammu has support for many SMS formats like:

Nokia Smart Messaging
used for monochromatic picture images, downloadable profiles, monochromatic
operator logos, monochromatic caller logos and monophonic ringtones

Linked SMS
both with 8 and 16-bit identification numbers in headers

EMS this is SMS format used for saving monochromatic images, monophonic ringtones,
animations, text formatting and others

MMS notifications
contains links where phone should download MMS

Alcatel logo messages
proprietary format for logos

You need to ensure that the target phone supports message type you want to send. Otherwise
the phone will not be able to display it or will even crash, because firmware of phone did
not expect this possibility.

Encoding chars in SMS text
Text in SMS can be coded using two ways:

GSM Default Alphabet
With GSM Default Alphabet you can fit at most 160 chars into single SMS (Gammu doesn't
support compressing such texts according to GSM standards, but it isn't big limit, because
there are no phones supporting them), but they're from limited set:

· all Latin small and large

· all digits

· some Greek

· some other national

· some symbols like @ ! " # & / ( ) % * + = - , . : ; < > ?

· few others

Unicode
With Unicode single SMS can contain at most 70 chars, but these can be any chars including
all national and special ones.

WARNING:
Please note, that some older phones might have problems displaying such message.

Conversion
Gammu tries to do the best to handle non ASCII characters in your message. Everything is
internally handled in Unicode (the input is converted depending on your locales
configuration) and in case message uses Unicode the text will be given as such to the
message.

Should the message be sent in GSM Default Alphabet, Gammu will try to convert all
characters to keep message readable. Gammu does support multi byte encoding for some
characters in GSM Default Alphabet (it is needed for ^ { } \ [ ] ~ |). The characters
which are not present in GSM Default Alphabet are transliterated to closest ASCII
equivalent (accents are removed). Remaining not known characters are replaced by question
mark.

SMS commands
addsmsfolder name

deleteallsms folder
Delete all SMS from specified SMS folder.

deletesms folder start [stop]
Delete SMS from phone. See description for gammu getsms for info about sms folders
naming convention.

Locations are numerated from 1.

displaysms ... (options like in sendsms)
Displays PDU data of encoded SMS messages. It accepts same parameters and behaves
same like sendsms.

getallsms -pbk
Get all SMS from phone. In some phones you will have also SMS templates and info
about locations used to save Picture Images. With each sms you will see location.
If you want to get such sms from phone alone, use gammu getsms.

geteachsms -pbk
Similiary to gammu getallsms. Difference is, that links all concatenated sms

getsms folder start [stop]
Get SMS.

Locations are numerated from 1.

Folder 0 means that sms is being read from "flat" memory (all sms from all folders
have unique numbers). It's sometimes emulated by Gammu. You can use it with all
phones.

Other folders like 1, 2, etc. match folders in phone such as Inbox, Outbox, etc.
and each sms has unique number in his folder. Name of folders can depend on your
phone (the most often 1="Inbox", 2="Outbox", etc.). This method is not supported
by all phones (for example, not supported by Nokia 3310, 5110, 6110). If work with
your phone, use gammu getsmsfolders to get folders list.

getsmsc [start [stop]]
Get SMSC settings from SIM card.

Locations are numerated from 1.

getsmsfolders
Get names for SMS folders in phone

savesms TYPE [type parameters] [type options] [-folder id] [-unread] [-read] [-unsent]

The most often folder 1 = "Inbox", 2 = "Outbox",etc. Use gammu
getsmsfolders to get folder list.

-unread
makes message unread. In some phones (like 6210) you won't see unread sms
envelope after saving such sms. In some phones with internal SMS memory
(like 6210) after using it with folder 1 SIM SMS memory will be used

-read makes message read. In some phones with internal SMS memory (like 6210)
after using it with folder 1 SIM SMS memory will be used

-unsent
makes message unsent

-sent makes message sent

-smsname name
set message name

for each frame. Each picture can be in any picture format which Gammu
supports (B/W bmp, gif, wbmp, nol, nlm...).

BOOKMARK file location
Read WAP bookmark from file created by gammu backup command and saves in
Nokia format as SMS

CALENDAR file location

Adds data written in file created using gammu backup command. All things backed up
gammu backup can be restored (when made backup to Gammu text file).

Please note that this adds all content of backup file to phone and does not care
about current data in the phone (no duplicates are detected).

Use -yes parameter to answer yes to all questions (you want to automatically
restore all data).

Use -memory parameter to force usage of defined memory type for storing entries
regardless what backup format says.

addsms folder file [-yes]
Adds SMSes from file (format like gammu backupsms uses) to selected folder in
phone.

backup file [-yes]
Backup your phone to file. It's possible to backup (depends on phone and backup
format):

· phonebook from SIM and phone memory

· calendar notes

· SMSC settings

· operator logo

· startup (static) logo or startup text

· WAP bookmarks

· WAP settings

· caller logos and groups

· user ringtones

There are various backup formats supported and the backup format is guessed based
on file extension:

· .lmb - Nokia backup, supports contacts, caller logos and startup logo.

· .vcs - vCalendar, supports calendar and todo.

· .vcf - vCard, supports contacts.

· .ldif - LDAP import, supports contacts.

· .ics - iCalendar, supports calendar and todo.

· Any other extension is Gammu backup file and it supports all data mentioned
above, see gammu-backup for more details.

By default this command is interactive and asks which items tou want to backup.

Use -yes for answering yes to all questions.

backupsms file [-yes|-all]
Stores all SMSes from phone to file into gammu-smsbackup.

By default this command is interactive and asks which folders you want to backup
and whether you want to remove messages from phone afterwards.

Use -yes for answering yes to all questions (backup all messages and delete them
from phone), or -all to just backup all folders while keeping messages in phone.

restore file [-yes]

WARNING:
Please note that restoring deletes all current content in phone. If you want
only to add entries to phone, use gammu addnew.

Restore settings written in file created using gammu backup command.

In some phones restoring calendar notes will not show error, but won't be done,
when phone doesn't have set clock inside.

restoresms file [-yes]

WARNING:
Please note that this overwrites existing messages in phone (if it supports it).

Restores SMSes from file (format like gammu backupsms uses) to selected folder in
phone.

savefile TYPE [type options]

supported:

BOOKMARK target.url file location
Converts backup format supported by Gammu to vBookmark file.

CALENDAR target.vcs file location
Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports
for calendar events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is based
on extension and file content, for output solely on extension).

TODO target.vcs file location
Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports
for todo events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is based on
extension and file content, for output solely on extension).

VCARD10|VCARD21 target.vcf file SM|ME location
Allows one to convert between various backup formats which gammu supports
for phonebook events. The file type is guessed (for input file guess is
based on extension and file content, for output solely on extension).

SEE ALSO:
gammu convertbackup

convertbackup source.file output.file
New in version 1.28.94.
