Re: [asterisk-users] SendText() & displaying text messages on a SIPhandset's screen

[Guillermo Roditi]

The phone does get the message. Immediately after SendText() happens in the conf the little message light lights up and if I click it then I get the message. I was however looking for a way to write to thephone's display as if it were a console. The only way I've found so far has been with sipsak, which wasn't really working out too well for me so I was hoping I could do this from inside asterisk rather than execl()ing programs from whithin asterisk.

SendText is generic, all it does is call the function responsible for sending text of the channel (ie: SIP). Now, the SIP channel driver does have the capability to send text messages but what the phone does with them is up to it. Did you try a sip debug to see if chan_sip was indeed sending your phone a message?
