Comments on How to install a Raspberry Pi SMS Server

This tutorial will show you how you can set up an SMS server on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, running Raspbian. We will use playsms and smstools. In my example, I have used a Huawei E3131 3G modem.

Hi,

First of all I really appreciate your time and effort that you put into creating this guide. Its truly amazing. I am having an issue. When i try to install php5enmod package. i get error of "E: Unable to locate package php5enmod". Can you please help in this regards. I did apt-get update and upgrade but still it wasn't able to find the package. I am using raspbian jessie lite version on RPi Model B.

What kind of service plan do you need or would you advise to take from your wireless provider?   Is this sending the SMS via data or just as a regular SMS?

By: hGriff

@k7mm,

This requires a GSM modem, so it's sending regular SMS, just like your phone. I use a pre-pay SIM card on a similar setup, I just add a few dollars to it every once in a while to keep it active.

Hello, thanks for this master piece!!

many, many, many problems, the forum does not help, the author is pouring commands that do not help. I've found another project and it's simpler.

kremil... by not linking us to the better solution that you've found, you're the same thing you're complaining about in this forum.
