hi,
Search for gammu. It includes a SMS Daemon which can be used to SMS through the connected phone.
After getting it configured, just only a matter of calling command line utility with right parameters.

Sana, please UseOneThreadPerQuestion <-link

Your post in a thread dating from 2005 has been removed. Incidentally, the question was answered in that thread: use a SMS gateway.

hey... i did check it out.. but the problem is .... it is limited to sending and recieving sms etc ... what i plan to do is file transfer through sms eventually... which gammu wont support.... and i dont whether gammu and java can be implemented side by side!!

That's an oxymoron. SMS stands for Short Messaging Service. You can't send files by SMS.

What you can do is upload the file to a server and send the URL by SMS. The recipient of the SMS would visit the URL to download the file.

Did you really think a file could be transferred through SMS?

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Though I don't know if it is even possible since I don't know about sms, My thought is that maybe the best way to transfer the contents of a file here is for Java on the mobile to somehow open an IO input connection stream through the serial cable to the PC and then connect that to an outbound SMS connection through the wireless network connection. Then, just do a read/write cycle until it reaches the end of the file and post that to the SMS connection.

What i mean by file transfer through sms was...
i break the file in datapackets....i.e.

1 datapacket = 1 sms (164 bytes)
and then send the file sms by sms.
