In this tutorial we are using gnokii to send SMS
Prerequisites
This doc is documented and tested based on Alpine Linux 2.7, but it might work for earlier versions too.
You will also need some sort of modem that can send SMS (e.g. a USB dongle with a SIM-card).
Install
- Install required package(s)
apk add gnokii
- Create missing folders
mkdir -p /root/.cache/gnokii/
- Physically attach a SMS capable modem to the host
Configure
- Add the following content to '/etc/gnokiirc'
[global] port = /dev/ttyUSB0 model = AT connection = serial use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 115200 smsc_timeout = 30 [gnokiid] binddir = /usr/bin/ [logging] debug = off rlpdebug = off xdebug = off
Note: You will most likely need to change the above config so it to suit your equipment and setup.
- Verify if the configuration works as expected
gnokii --identify
Note: You should receive a output that looks something like this:
GNOKII Version 0.6.31 Cannot open logfile /root/.cache/gnokii/gnokii-errors WARNING: cannot open logfile, logs will be directed to stderr IMEI : 123456789012345 Manufacturer : Undefined No flags section in the config file. Model : Teltonika TM1 Product name : Teltonika TM1 Revision : VilniusSMD 05.94.01
Sending SMS
- Now send a SMS
echo "Test sms" | gnokii --sendsms 123456
Note: You will need to replace 123456 with the phone number you want to send your test SMS
