xgsmlib

Introduction

xgsm is a Gnome-based GUI to the functions of the gsmlib library. With xgsm you can edit/backup/manage your mobile phone's phonebook and SMS entries. You can also send and receive SMS messages via your mobile phone using your computer. See the Screenshots section for more details.

Operating Systems

The software works under Linux (tested with Redhat Linux 7.0 and higher). Other UNIX-like operating systems may also work.

Requirements

You need to install the latest version of the gsmlib in order to use xgsm.

Additionally, a recent Gnome version is required. I currently use the Gnome version that came with Redhat 9.

Status

The current release is version 0.2. Manipulation of the phonebook and SMS stores on disk and on the phone works as well as SMS sending. Missing is still

Handling incoming SMS while xgsm is running
Log of incoming and outgoing SMS messages
SMS "chat" window
Undo/Redo functionality while editing the stores
Copy and paste between stores
Port to Gnome 2

Apart from that the software is already useful and should not contain many bugs.
