SMS Server Tools
The SMS Server Tools send and receive short messages through GSM modems or mobile phones. Messages are stored as text files in spool directories. External programs or scripts of any language can be used to filter, inspect, and answer messages automatically. Events and alarms can be passed to scripts for integration in monitoring tools. The program generates performance statistics as well. This daemon supports the following message formats: 7bit GSM, 8bit ISO, 16bit Unicode, 8bit binary data (ringtones, logos, wap-push), user data header, flash, delivery report.

Recent commentsProgram is stable, book and DVD updated
Hello users,
I did not receive any bug report for a while, therefore version 2.2.14 is still the latest one.
However, Keijo Kasvi is working on his own extended version 3.x which is downloadable on http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/.
For both versions, you might buy my book SMS Applications, that has been updated today.
Book SMS Applications again updates
Hello,

New edition of the book SMS Applications
Hello Users,
I like to inform you that I just released the second
edition of my book "SMS Applications". It comes now
with a DVD of more than 2.5GB and it has a completely
new chapter about Awk programming.
Owners of the old book can download the new chapter
for free.
Program runs absolutely stable
Hello people,
I tested the version 1.14.3 at vodafone germany for 3 weeks sending and receiving messages every minute. The program ran absolutely stable.
I used a 4 years old Linux server for this test. The program did not cause any problems on the other software that runs on the same PC. A temporary CPU load of 100% caused by the other server software did not introduce any problem. All messages (of more than 20.000) were received correctly and all sent messages reached the receiver.
The version 1.14.3 is pretty good useable for business.
New book available
Hello,
I like to inform you that I finished my work on
the book. My book about commercial SMS
applications is now available in german and
english. Please visit my homepage to find a
description of the content, example PDF files
and ordering information.
