This set of modules allows you to send and receive SMS messages.

Besides text messages you can also use Smart Messages, also known as ringing tones, groupgraphics, vcards etc...

Out of the box, it comes with a serial transport and a transport for Novelsoft, a HTTP based SMSC (http://www.sms-wap.com ). To use the serial transport you will need a GSM modem, like the wavecom WMOD2B ( http://www.wavecom.com ). If you want to receive SMS messages, the serial solution is the only one for the moment.You even can have some success with running the gnokii project to power a Nokia 6110 or something, but I have not tested this. Other options are the M20 from Siemens and the A1 or A2 from Falcom.

The module that is the most interesting for you is probably the GSM::SMS::NBS module, as this is the high level interface you are supposed to use. Please look at the examples to see how you use the library.

For the moment the package comes with support for the following Smart Messaging formats:

• RTTTL, ringing tones
• Caller Line Identification logos
• Operator logos
• VCard
• OTA Configuration for WAP phones
