Thanks for the reply (and sorry for the disclaimer -- nothing I can do about that I'm afraid)
Chat looks like the way to go, however, I can't seem to get it to work OK. A completed conversation using minicom goes like this: At+cmgs="<phoneNumberhere", 145 > Test Message > <Control+z> <cr> +CMGS:1 The '>' at the beginning of the 2 lines are outputted by the system, as is the +CMGS:1. Can any one point me in the right direction ???
