Raspberry Pi Based SMS SERVER

A short time ago, for sending an SMS we had to use third-party services from the internet. First we had to log on to a third-party server, then copy and paste the message in the text box, search for the mobile numbers, or copy and paste the group of mobile phone numbers separated by commas and then press Send.

Sometimes the SMS would not reach the destinations. So, the people decided to buy an SMS server for sending mass SMSes. As this server increased the system cost, cheap and efficient SMS server on Raspberry Pi came into existence.

First of all design an SMS server on Raspberry Pi using a GPRS shield.

How to get started:

Hardware:

1. GPRS shied 900MHz-1800Mhz

2. USB-to-serial dongle(required as these shield do not work on direct UART connections.

3. Raspberry computer(preferable model B2 with 512 MB RAM)

4. For sending SMSes keep the simcard ready

Software:

1. First of all install all the necessary drivers and latest softwares

2. To send and receive SMSes using a GSM modem on RaspberryPi, install Linux application Gammu and its GTK front-end Wammu.

Circuit and Working:

1. Connect the GPRS shield to Raspberry Pi using USB-to-serial dongle/adaptor.

2. Insert SIM card into SIM card jacket and connect the GPRS shield.

3. To send an SMS via Raspberry Pi, install an SMS gateway and configure the file for Gammu known as gammurc file.

4. After entering some commands we can ensure that Gammu has found M590 GPRS shield and is ready for heavy work.

5. Gammu have graphical interface known as Wammu, which is a mobile phone controller running on Linux, Windows and other platforms also, where communication is made using Gammu library.

6. Go to Wammu and find the settings to select the correct USB port to find GPRS shield.

7. Go to phone, connect and you are now ready for sending/receiving an SMS on Wammu.

Further Application:

An SMS server combined with AT command can be used as SMS scheduler, which can schedule your SMSes in such a way that you can send SMSes starting from one minute to ten years time frame.
