Device::Gsm 1.48

Device::Gsm is a Perl extension to interface GSM phones / modems.

SYNOPSIS

use Device::Gsm;

my $gsm = new Device::Gsm( port => /dev/ttyS1, pin => xxxx );

if( $gsm->connect() ) {
print "connected!n";
} else {
print "sorry, no connection with gsm phone on serial port!n";
}

# Register to GSM network (you must supply PIN number in above new() call)
$gsm->register();

# Send quickly a short text message
$gsm->send_sms(
recipient => +3934910203040,
content => Hello world! from Device::Gsm
);

# Get list of Device::Gsm::Sms message objects
# see `examples/read_messages.pl for all the details
my @messages = $gsm->messages();

Device::Gsm class implements basic GSM functions, network registration and SMS sending.

This class supports also PDU mode to send SMS messages, and should be fairly usable. In the past, I have developed and tested it under Linux RedHat 7.1 with a 16550 serial port and Siemens C35i/C45 GSM phones attached with a Siemens-compatible serial cable. Currently, Im developing and testing this stuff with Linux Slackware 10.2 and a Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) USB bluetooth dongle, connecting to a Nokia 6600 phone.

Please be kind to the universe and contact me if you have troubles or you are interested in this.

Please be monstruosly kind to the universe and (if you dont mind spending an SMS) use the examples/send_to_cosimo.pl script to make me know that Device::Gsm works with your device (thanks!).

Recent versions of Device::Gsm have also an utility called autoscan in the bin/ folder, that creates a little profile of the devices it runs against, that contains information about supported commands and exact output of commands to help recognize similar devices.

Be sure to send me your profile by email (if you want to), so I can add better support for your device in the future!
