NAME

       sendsms - command line tool to send SMSes using gnokii

SYNOPSIS

       sendsms [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       sendsms	allows	you  to  send a SMS using gnokii not knowing the syntax of gnokii command. It is written using dialog and allows to send a
       text SMS choosing recipients from the phone address book or entering it manually.

   OPTIONS
       Available options:

       [--debug|-D]
	      May bother with more debugging messages. For debugging purpose.

       --simul[ate], -S
	      Simulation mode. Doesn't really send SMS by phone. Only simulates. For debugging purpose.

       --forceSMread, -s
	      Forces sendsms to read phonebook from SIM card, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if
	      required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE.

       --forceMEread, -m
	      Forces  sendsms  to  read  phonebook from phone memory, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful
	      only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE.

       --skipgnokiicheck, -K
	      Skip the test of the presence of binary 'gnokii'. (It must be somewhere in your $PATH).  It allows you to try this  script  program,
	      even if you don't have 'gnokii' already. ;)

       --smsset, --setsms
	      Allows  you  to  preset  a  SMS message from STDIN. (pipe or input redirection).	This message will be proposed on the 'SMS message'

	      display this help and exit

       --version, -V

       NOTE:  If you require to pickup number from phone's memory (or from SIM card), for the first time, it  anyway  reads  phonebook	from  your
	      mobile phone.  (It may take a while... please, be patient ;-)
