help with smssend or any app like it


Hi, Trying to info on smssend or app's like it is very difficult. I have smssend installed, but am very confused on how to use it properly.

I have the notion that you must have a provider script avaiable in /usr/share/smssend in the format <yourprovider.sms> and you must know your country code for sms, then the cellular number (ten digit I assume) then your message.

Here is a link to web based sms for my provider: I am not sure if this provider is covered by smssend but I see in /usr/share/smssend there is a script for bell.sms which I would at least be able to test smssend on until a find a script.

Furthermore, I cannot find a front end (gui) to this app for debian and converting a .rpm to .deb does not work. The ides was to be quicker not slower than the cell and the cli thing is slower.

Here is the format is used.

smssend bell.sms @+1XXXXXXXXXX @Sophie "Hi Sophie"


Thanks for your time
