BTSMS v.0.1: forward your SMS over bluetooth and send SMS via PC

With BTSMS you can:
- read all your SMS (no MMS or bluetooth files)
- forward SMS over bluetooth as note files
- send SMS via PC using pcsms.py client
( the pcsms.py client requres you to have:
> python interpreter 2.4 or higher on linux or windows xp
> pybluez extension library available from: http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez/
> and ofcourse a bluetooth transreceiver (dongle) connected to your PC
)

- Get the source and SIS file for this application at: http://tovganesh.googlepages.com/btsms_app.tar.gz

hello. I really like this app, but I had to modify 2 lines to make it working with (german) special chars:

in function PCSMS.sendSMS line 124, pcsms.pc:
added after string.strip:
msg = msg.encode("utf8")

in line 134, btsms.py
replaced smsMsg = fis.readline()
with smsMsg = unicode(fis.readline(), "utf8")

in line 138, btsms.py
replaced messaging.sms_send(addr, unicode(smsMsg))
with messaging.sms_send(addr, smsMsg)

I don't know exactly why, but so it worked for me ;-)

Nitin,

Thanks for dropping in.

I can help you with the background for how to do it. But with building the circuits, I might have to search around my self. As have not fiddled with electronics for a long time.

cheers
ganesh
