Hello, I posted something like this to the fedora list late last week, but figured I should try the proper channels.
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'm sure we all know that lots of 3G/GSM usb modems and mobile telephones present an AT style modem interface over which sms can be sent and retrieved. 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. I have had a quick look at the NetworkManager dbus api documentation, but I have not got my head around it all yet. And I'm aware of gnokii/gammu wammu et al, these solutions require exclusive access to the usb serial interface of a 3g modem. 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 phone 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.
