Hi I am looking for some kind of script/software that can help me to send SMS from my Ubuntu machine . A desktop client/application actually by using web services which we use to send sms like way2sms.com or 160by2.com etc.

Here you go. Create an account at 160by2.com and install php on your system.

sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-curl curl

Paste your number and password where i've mentioned and run this script:

<?php
echo"Phone: ";$phno=trim(fgets(STDIN));
echo"Message: ";$msg=trim(fgets(STDIN));
echo"Message Length: ".strlen($msg)."\nSending...";
$yournumber=''; //your number inside the single quotes
$yourpassword='';//your password inside the single quotes
$cur=curl_init("http://160by2.com/re-login");
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"username=$yournumber&password=$yourpassword");
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION,1);
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,"cookie");
curl_exec($cur);
curl_close($cur);
$cur=curl_init("http://160by2.com/SendSMSAction");
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,1);
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,"cookie");
curl_setopt($cur,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"mobile1=$phno&msg1=$msg&action1=sa65sdf656fdfd");
$x=curl_exec($cur);
curl_close($cur);
echo"\nSent!";

Save the script as sms.php.Then on terminal run php sms.php

DONE!

  • sudo apt-get install curl php5-curl installs cURL and cURL API for PHP. That'll fix the error.

It's simple.

Just go register at CS Networks and you may send messages from terminal with the following command:

wget http://api.cs-networks.net:9011/bin/send?USERNAME=yourusername&PASSWORD=yourpassword&DESTADDR=447123456789&MESSAGE=somemessageSOURCEADDR=test

Here is a link for downloading .deb files for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of sendsms / gsendsms. Sendsms is open source software published under a GNU/GPL license.

https://www.cs-networks.net/index.php/products/toolsandutils/linux-sendsms

It will allow you to send messages from the terminal / or simple GUI under GNOME.
