SMS ona Nokia 6210

The following are instructions for send and receiving SMS message using the a Nokia 6210 connected to a PC via the Nokia Data Cable. This should also work for Infrared connections to between the 6210 and PC, but I have not tested it.

All characters you type are in red, and all response from the Nokia 6210 are in green.

Sending SMS's

To send an SMS you can type the following replacing the sections {PHONE_NUMBER} with the number you wish to send the SMS to, and {MESSAGE} with the message you wish to send. The section marked {CTRL+Z} indicates that you should press the CTRL key and the Z key together at this point. The section marked {nn} will be replaced by a number the 'phone uses to track the message.

AT+CMGF=1

OK

AT+CMGS="{PHONE_NUMBER}",129

>

{MESSAGE}{CTRL+Z}

+CMGS: {nn}

Receiving SMS's

To put the Nokia 6210 into a mode where all incoming messages are sent down the serial line type the following command

AT+CMGF=1

AT+CNMI=2,2

NOTE: This will put the phone into a mode whereby any incoming SMS's are not stored on the 'phone, but are passed straight through to your console. To return the 'phone to it's normal mode (storing SMS's on the 'phone, and not sending them through), type the following command;

AT+CNMI=0,0,0,0,0

AT+CMGF=0

Each time a message arrives you will see the following ;

+CMT: "{SENDER_NUMBER}",,"{MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP}"
{MESSAGE_DATA}

The sections of the per-message response are detailed below;

{SENDER_NUMBER} is the phone number of the message sender

{MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP} is when the message was send in the format yy/mm/dd,hh:mm:ss+TZ.

{MESSAGE_DATA} is the text of the message.
