Hyperlinks to some free software, tools and libraries for sending and receiving SMS messages with a computer / PC are listed below. Many of the software, tools and libraries shown below are not only free, but are open source.
Microsoft SMS Sender
Microsoft SMS Sender is a piece of free Windows software that can be used to send SMS text messages from a computer via a GSM mobile phone. Localized versions are available in more than 20 languages, including Arabic, simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. One major limitation of Microsoft SMS Sender is that it cannot receive SMS messages from the cell phone. Besides, it does not support message formats other than ordinary SMS text messages. For example, concatenated SMS messages, flash SMS messages, MMS messages, ring tones and logos are not supported.
Gnokii is a free and open source command line tool that can be used to send and receive SMS messages through a mobile phone or GSM modem. It can also be used to read and write entries of the phone book and calendar, handle logos, load ring tones, etc. In addition, the Gnokii project contains a modem driver called gnokiid, which allows you to use some old Nokia mobile phones (for example, Nokia 5110 and Nokia 6110) that do not support AT commands as ordinary AT-compatible modems.
Gnokii works fine with mobile phones that support AT commands. Gnokii supports a lot of mobile phone models from Nokia, even some of those that use Nokia's proprietary protocol instead of AT commands for communicating with a computer. A list of the mobile phones and GSM modems supported by Gnokii can be found on its web site.
If you are not an SMS software developer, you may want to use XGnokii or Gnocky instead of the command-line program. XGnokii and Gnocky provide a good-looking and intuitive GUI, which is easier to use than the command-line program. XGnokii is included in the Gnokii package, while Gnocky can be downloaded separately from the Gnokii web site. Some screenshots of XGnokii and Gnocky can be found at here.
If you are an SMS software developer and would like to write a program to send and receive SMS messages via a mobile phone or GSM modem from a computer, you may find Gnokii useful. By making use of the functions of Gnokii, you do not need to learn how to program with AT commands in order to control the mobile phone or GSM modem. It is easy to write a script or program to drive the command-line Gnokii in the background. Another choice is to use libgnokii, the back-end library that provides basic functions to Gnokii.
