gammu.1 (en)

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(1) when you want to send or receive more messages and process them automatically.

Common parameters for sendsms and savesms

-smscset number - SMSC will be taken from set number. Default set: 1

-smscnumber number - SMSC number

-reply - reply SMSC is set

-maxnum number - Limit maximal number of messages which will be created. If there are more messages, Gammu will terminate with failure.

-folder number - save to specified folder.

Folders are numerated from 1.

The most often folder 1 = "Inbox", 2 = "Outbox",etc. Use 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

-sender number - set sender number

-smsname name - set message name

-sender number - set sender number (default: "Gammu")

-report - request delivery report for message

-save - will also save message which is being sent

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

Alcatel logo messages

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:

with GSM Default Alphabet - in single SMS you can have maximally 160 chars (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:

*allLatinsmallandlarge

*alldigits

*someGreek

*someothernational

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

*fewothers

with Unicode - in single SMS you can save at most 70 chars, but these can be any chars including all national and special ones. Please note, that some older phones might have problems displaying such message.

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.

addsms folder file [-yes]

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

addsmsfolder name

backupsms file [-yes|-all]

Stores all SMSes from phone to file.

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.

deleteallsms folder

Delete all SMS from specified SMS folder.

deletesms folder start [stop]

Delete SMS from phone. See description for 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 0 location

geteachsms -pbk

Similiary to 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 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

nokiagett9

This option should display T9 dictionary content from DCT4 phones.

-unicode - SMS will be saved in Unicode format

-inputunicode - input text is in Unicode.

-text - get text from command line instead of stdin.

-textutf8 - get text in UTF-8 from command line instead of stdin.

-16bit - Gammu uses SMS headers with 16-bit numbers for saving linking info in SMS (it means less chars available for user in each SMS)

TIP: You can create Unicode file using WordPad in Windows (during saving select "Unicode Text Document" format). In Unix can use for example YUdit.

-replacemessages ID - ID can be 1..7. When you will use option and send more single SMS to one recipient with the same ID, each another SMS will replace each previous with the same ID

-replacefile file - when you want, you can make file in such format: src_unicode_char1, dest_unicode_char1, src_unicode_char2, dest_unicode_char2 (everything in one line). After reading text for SMS from stdin there will be made translation and each src char will be converted to dest char. In docs there is example file (replace.txt), which will change all "a" chars to "1"

TIP: when use ~ char in sms text and -unicode option (Unicode coding required), text of sms after ~ char will blink in some phones (like N33xx)

Example: echo some_text | gammu savesms TEXT

Locations are numerated from 1.

Memory (phonebooks and calls)

addcategory TODO|PHONEBOOK text

addnew file [-yes] [-memory ME|SM|..]

Adds data written in file created using backup option. All things backup'ed by 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 backu format says.

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 EXAMPLE section for some hints on manipulating Gammu backup format.

clearall

listmemorycategory text|number

nokiagetpbkfeatures memorytype

restore file [-yes]

Restore settings written in file created using backup option.

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

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

savefile VCARD10|VCARD21 target.vcf file SM|ME location

Allows 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).

For example if you want to convert single entry from gammu native backup to vCard, you need following command:

gammusavefileCALENDARoutput.vcfmyPhonebook.backupME42

For description of shared parameters see Common parameters for sendsms and savesms.

searchmemory text

Scans all memory entries for given text. It performs case insensitive substring lookup. You can interrupt searching by pressing Ctrl+C.

Sends a message, for description of message specific parameters see savesms VCARD10|VCARD21.

For description of shared parameters see Common parameters for sendsms and savesms.

Filesystem

Gammu allows to access phones using native protocol (Nokias) or OBEX. Your phone can also support usb storage, which is handled on the operating system level and Gammu does not use that.

addfile folderID name [-type JAR|BMP|PNG|GIF|JPG|MIDI|WBMP|AMR|3GP|NRT] [-readonly] [-protected] [-system] [-hidden] [-newtime]

Add file with specified name to folder with specified folder ID.

-type - file type was required for filesystem 1 in Nokia phones (current filesystem 2 doesn't need this)

-readonly, -protected, -system, -hidden - you can set readonly, protected (file can't be for example forwarded from phone menu), system and hidden (file is hidden from phone menu) file attributes

-newtime - after using it date/time of file modification will be set to moment of uploading

addfolder parentfolderID name

Create a folder in phone with specified name in a folder with specified folder ID.

deletefiles fileID

Delete files with given IDs.

deletefolder name

Delete folder with given ID.

getfilefolder fileID, fileID, ...

getfiles fileID, fileID, ...

Retrieve files with given IDs from a phone filesytem.

getfilesystem [-flatall|-flat]

Display info about all folders and files in phone memory/memory card. By default there is tree displayed, you can change it:

-flatall there are displayed full file/folder details like ID (first parameter in line)

-flat

Please note, that in some phones (like N6230) content of some folders (with more files) can be cut (only part of files will be displayed) for example on infrared connection. This is not Gammu issue, but phone firmware problem.

getfilesystemstatus

Display info filesystem status - number of bytes available, used or used by some specific content.

getfolderlisting folderID

Display files and folders available in folder with given folder ID. You can get ID's using getfilesystem -flatall.

getrootfolders

Display info about drives available in phone/memory card.

nokiaaddfile APPLICATION|GAME file [-readonly] [-overwrite] [-overwriteall]

Install the *.jar/*.jad file pair of a midlet in the application or game menu of the phone. You need to specify filename without the jar/jad suffix, both will be added automatically.

The option -overwrite deletes the application's .jad and .jar files bevor installing, but doesn't delete the application data. Option -overwriteall will also delete all data. Both these options work only for Application or Game upload.

Example: gammu nokiaaddfile Application Alien will read Alien.JAD and Alien.JAR and add to Applications

Example: gammu nokiaaddfile Tones file.mid will read file.mid and add to Tones folder

You can use jadmaker(1) to generate a .jad file from a .jar file.

nokiaaddplaylists

Goes through phone memory and generated playlist for all music files found.

To manually manage playlists:

gammuaddfilea:\predefplaylistfilename.m3u

Will add playlist filename.m3u

gammugetfilesystem

Will get list of all files (including names of files with playlists)

gammudeletefilesa:\predefplaylist\filename.m3u

Will delete playlist filename.m3u

Format of m3u playlist is easy (standard mp3 playlist):

First line is #EXTM3U, next lines contain names of files (b:\file1.mp3, b:\folder1\file2.mp3, etc.). File needs t have '\r\n' terminated lines. So just run unix2dos on the resulting file before uploading it your your phone.

sendfile name

Sends file to a phone. It's up to phone to decide where to store this file and how to handle it (for example when you send vCard or vCalendar, most of phones will offer you to import it.

setfileattrib folderID [-system] [-readonly] [-hidden] [-protected]

Logo and pictures

These options are mainly (there are few expections) for monochromatic logos and images available in older phones. Recognized file formats: xpm (only saving), 2-colors bmp, nlm, nsl, ngg, nol, wbmp, gif (for Samsung).

In new models all bitmaps are saved in filesystem and should go into filesystem section

copybitmap inputfile [outputfile [OPERATOR|PICTURE|STARTUP|CALLER]]

Allow to convert logos files to another. When give ONLY inputfile, output will be written to stdout using ASCII art. When give output file and format, in some file formats (like NLM) will be set indicator informing about logo type to given.

getbitmap CALLER location [file]

Get caller group logo from phone. Locations 1-5.

getbitmap DEALER

In some models it's possible to save dealer welcome note - text displayed during enabling phone, which can't be edited from phone menu. Here you can get it.

getbitmap OPERATOR [file]

Get operator logo (picture displayed instead of operator name) from phone.

getbitmap PICTURE location [file]

Get Picture Image from phone.

getbitmap STARTUP [file]

Get static startup logo from phone. Allow to save it in file.

Sending messages

Save text message up to standard 160 chars:

echo "All your base are belong to us" | gammu savesms TEXT

gammu savesms TEXT -text "All your base are belong to us"

Save long text message:

echo "All your base are belong to us" | gammu savesms TEXT -len 400

gammu savesms TEXT -len 400 -text "All your base are belong to us"

gammu savesms EMS -text "All your base are belong to us"

Save some funky message with predefined sound and animation from 2 bitmaps:

gammu savesms EMS -text "Greetings" -defsound 1 -text "from Gammu"
-tone10 axelf.txt -animation 2 file1.bmp file2.bmp

Save protected message with ringtone:

gammu savesms EMS -protected 2 -variablebitmaplong ala.bmp
-toneSElong axelf.txt -toneSE ring.txt

Backups

If you will backup settings to Gammu text file, it will be possible to edit it. It's easy: many things in this file will be written double - once in Unicode, once in ASCII. When you will remove Unicode version Gammu will use ASCII on restore (and you can easy edit ASCII text) and will convert it according to your OS locale. When will be available Unicode version of text, it will be used instead of ASCII (useful with Unicode phones - it isn't important, what locale is set in computer and no conversion Unicode -> ASCII and ASCII -> Unicode is done).

You can use any editor with regular expressions function to edit backup text file. Examples of such editors can be vim <http://www.vim.org/> or TextPad <http://www.textpad.com/> which both do support regular expressions.

Remove info about voice tags

Find: ^Entry\([0-9][0-9]\)VoiceTag = \(.*\)\n

Find: Type = NumberGeneral\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)Text = "\+36\(20\|30\|60\|70\)\n

Replace: Type = NumberMobile\nEntry\1Text = "\+3620

Change phone numbers type to mobile for numbers starting from +3620, +3630,... and removing the corresponding TextUnicode line

Find: Type = NumberGeneral\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)Text = "\+36\([2367]0\)\([^\"]*\)"\nEntry\([0-9][0-9]\)TextUnicode = \([^\n]*\)\n

Replace: Type = NumberMobile\nEntry\1Text = "\+36\2\3"\n

REPORTING BUGS

There are definitely many bugs, reporting to author is welcome. Please include some useful information when sending bug reports (especially debug logs, operating system, it's version and phone information are needed).

To generate debug log, enable it in gammurc (alternatively you can do it on command line using -d textall -f /tmp/gammu.log):

[gammu]
YOUR CONNECTION SETTINGS
logfile = /tmp/gammu.log
logformat = textall

With this settings, Gammu generates /tmp/gammu.log on each connection to phone and stores dump of communication there. You can also find some hints for improving support for your phone in this log.

See <http://wammu.eu/support/bugs/> for more information on reporting bugs.

Please report bugs to <http://bugs.cihar.com>.
