Sending and receiving SMS messages with a GSM modem

[adamb924]

Hi,

I have a question about sending and receiving SMS messages from a Qt application. My goal is a program that can receive and process SMS messages from a GSM modem, and send SMS messages of its own.

I'm not clear whether this is something that can be done with the QtNetwork module, or whether it's neccesary to use QextSerialPort (or something similar) to control the modem directly with AT commands. Posts in this forum generally recommend the latter. But I'm not sure if this is current, since there was an SMS capability in Qt Extended, which I read has been discontinued, with some features carried into later versions.

Thanks,
Adam

If you want to use AT command maybe this is useful:

If you need a reliable program, just simply use Ozeki NG SMS gateway.
