Re: NetworkManager, dbus, 3G USB Modems and SMS
Hello, That looks like a good solution. The only problem I foresee that gammu won't be able to access /dev/ttyUSBn while NetworkManager has an active connection using the same device. Still, it looks like the best solution so far, even if I have to disconnect the broadband. My hope is that I can write something myself to talk to NetworkManager or ModemManager via dbus to work around the fact that /dev/ttyUSBn is locked.

Re: NetworkManager, dbus, 3G USB Modems and SMS
Hello, You could try to use gammu to read/send sms-es. Here is a link on how to use it with a huawei e160 http://tensixtyone.com/perma/howto-send-sms-using-a-huawei-e160g-and-debian I tested with my huawei e180, and I was able to send/recieve sms-es, read/write contact book. There is an frontend for it, is called wammu. yum install gammu wammu -y On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 10:04, Dan Irwin wrote: > I'm pretty sure I'm not posting this question to the best place, but here > goes. > > Can I write a program which will talk to NetworkManager or ModemManager over > dbus to send and receive sms messages?

NetworkManager, dbus, 3G USB Modems and SMS
I'm pretty sure I'm not posting this question to the best place, but here goes. Can I write a program which will talk to NetworkManager or ModemManager over dbus to send and receive sms messages? Will this work while connected to a mobile broadband service on the same modem? Is anyone out there already working on something like this? I imagine the ideal solution is some kind of sms service provider, which itself could be accessed via dbus, with integration in email or IM clients. Rationale: I have a 3G usb modem which i use to connect to mobile broadband. This service is pretty much connected whenever I use my computer. Often my provider sends SMS messages to the number of the usb modem, for example, to give warnings about going over quota (which I recently did). I would love a way to access these messages while connected to mobile broadband.
