Python scripts for automated SMS and Voice using AT commands

Python scripts for automated SMS and Voice using AT commands

############## AS POSTED on INTRANET WIKI #####################################
Working from home and want to use a handset in the office? Or maybe you are in the office but feeling too lazy to type numbers and letters in a tiny handset keyboard.

The scripts aforementioned use AT commands and were tested on Nokia 6700. Should work on most Nokias and Sony Ericsson running Symbian. Do not work on Android or Iphone as they do not support AT commands.

Feel free to log into my linux machine:

cd into /root/pyscripts/

And find these four scripts: at_cmds.py, send_sms.py, voice_call.py and end_call.py

1 - Connect a Nokia handset to my linux box (on my desk) using a USB cable

2 - On the Nokia handset select "PC suite"

3 - On my linux machine (192.168.21.9) under /root/pyscripts/

To make a voice call to number 384005 type:

[root@Oscareth1 pyscripts]# python voice_call.py 384005

To end a voice call type:
[root@Oscareth1 pyscripts]# python end_call.py

To send a text message (e.g. "This is the message") to number 384005 type:

[root@Oscareth1 pyscripts]# python send_sms.py 384005 This is the message

Alternatively, if you prefer to do this from any other linux box just copy the scripts attached to the linux box and install the following packages:

# sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

# easy_install pyserial

AUTOMATICALLY ANSWER THE VOICE CALL by using an android phone as the dialled subscriber:

1 - Goto to Android Market -> Donwload and install the free application "Lazy Car"

2 - Set Lazy Car to answer all calls. Automatic SMS reply is also supported

All python scripts mentioned are posted below

Hi Matogrosso
Thanks for the scripts.
Will it be possible for you to attach them?
as doing copy paste from here caused indentation problems.

I tried to resolve indentation problems in send_sms.py
but now i am getting following


root@kashif-pc:~/pyscripts [1]
# python send_sms.py 384005 This is the message
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi , thanks for sharing the code. Can you please provide a script to read sms from a modem( or nokia phone )
