If you look at the dmesg output you’ll see 2 ports registered ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. I got mine working by setting the port to ttyUSB1 in the config file.

hello
didnt have much luck at getting gammu to work with the huawei e220, although didnt try for that long.
anyway found this page http://designbuildtestrepeat.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/huawei-e220-on-linux-for-sms/ and had no trouble sending sms with minicom. i didnt bother with the script either, just installed minicom, adjusted the settings and bobs your uncle

Thanks Andrew – just used your starting point to read the SMS messages off my Huawei E1550 from Three. Very much appreciated.

Hi Lim Soo,

Hi Andrew,

I’m trying to make it work with a Huawei E220, but I got no answere by the modem.

When I do gammu –identify, no answere is given and the terminal stay stoped until I hit ctrl+c

Any other tutorial to work around this?

This is my dmesg output:
feijo@pegasus:~$ dmesg | grep tty
[ 0.004000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 19.570998] usb 3-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

gammurc is like this
[gammu]
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
model =
connection = at19200

Hi, Andrew! I’ve tried this utility on my Mac. After searching the correct device file, I’ve managed to send my other number an sms! But is it possible to use gammu while still using the Internet from the modem? Right now I have to disconnect my Internet connection first before using gammu sendsms etc. Thanks.

I’ve tried gammu with a huawei u526. It doesn’t work with gammu –identify, it only mentioned that the device does not exist. What does this mean? What do I do?

Hi
I tried this and it works for a while , then I get the “No response in specified timeout..” message and the only way to get working is to remove and reinsert the E160. Anyone else hit this problem. Ive now tried a couple of machines both running Ubuntu 8.10

swamytk, You tried Huawei E160G phone with gammu, whereas i’ve nokia 6600 and nokia 3310 which i want to use with gammu to make it my home SMS gateway. Actually I’d prefer 3310 because i can dedicate that old phone for that job but problem is that is not working now properly, whereas it was just working fine for two months, I followed the following guide
