                                      Version 0.26 (24 Aug 1998)

SMS (short message service) is used to send short textual
messages to GSM mobile telephones or messages to pagers.


If you don't find the provider you intend to send messages
through in the offered list, you need to create a configuration
file for them in the config directory.
The format is explained in the !help file in there,
If you need help, especially when the provider in question
doesn't support one of the standard protocolls, mail me.


Althogh this application now comes with a desktop frontend, it
will set up an alias that allows you to use it from the command
line like before, once it has been seen by the filer.
Actually the frontend itself will only start the old command
line version for you in a taskwindow.


Usage:
SMS [-provider] <provider> [-to] <receiver_number> [-msg] <text>
    [-notify] [-defered <date>] [-expires <date>] [-immediate]

<provider> is the name of one of the files in the config
  directory.

<receiver_number> must not contain any formattiong, i.e. no -,
  (), /, Space or whatever. Just the number. It should contain
  at least the area code. The + character to identify int'l
  numbers is not available. To send messages abrouad use
  00<country> or what ever is used in you country.

<text> must be put in quotation marks if it contains spaces.
  Quotation marks must be doubled.

-notify is used to get informed of the messages status. The
  network will tell you that the message was delivered or if it
  wasn't, why not and if it will retry on it's own or the
  messages was discarded.
  This option is ony available with UCP

-deferred can make the message wait until a given date is
 reached before being delivered.

-expires tells the SMSC to discard the message at a given date
 if not already delivered by then.

-immediate is used to tell mobile terminal to just display the
  message and not to store it. The exact effect depends on the
  MTs software.
