Hi, If the mobile is not detected by the OS, you won't need an init string. Simply put the mobile is not a modem.
Does the mobile feature a USB or serial port?

I was wondering is it possible to use a Sony Ericsson W 580i phone as a modem for sending sms? I havent used a Sony Ericsson but rather a Nokia. However you can setup the modem group and smsc group as shown in the user guide. To be sure the phone can be used, do this: Connect the phone to the computer and as root do this r...@your-computer#dmesg|grep -i "Sony" r...@your-computer#tail -n30 /var/log/messages|grep -i "Sony" You must see a link to the device file /dev/ttyACM0 or something similar which shows connection to your phone. Configure kannel accordingly to use the device file that points to your phone. Read the user manual on configuring group=modems group=smsc for using phones as virtual smsc. Regards Rajeev.
