Mobile Originated (MO) Messages
Use the AT+CMGS command to originate SMS messages. You can send up to 140 characters in a text message.
Note that ctrl-Z terminates the message text entry. Refer to SMS Control Commands for more information.
Example:
AT+CMGS="9195551212"
> hi, there.<ctrl-Z>
+CMGS: 150
OK
+WORG:
+WCNT: 6
+WEND: 29
We recommend that you enable ASCII mode for text messages using the AT+WSCL command.
Sending Binary Data
Send binary data as short messages using AT+CMGS. Since the usual text entry terminator, ctrl-Z, might be
legitimate data, define the message length in bytes in the AT+CMGS command. At the text entry prompt, enter
the message length bytes. The message is sent when the number of bytes equal to the message length has been
entered.
Example:
AT+CMGS="9195551212",10
> hi, there.
+CMGS: 151
OK
+WORG:
+WCNT: 6
+WEND: 29
We recommend that you enable octet mode for binary messages using the AT+WSCL command.
Sending Text to Email Address
Many carriers support SMS-to-email gateways, which allows you to send short messages to an e-mail address.
To send a message to an email address, enter 6245 (this spells mail) in the Address field, enter the recipient's
email address in the beginning of the message field, followed by a space and then the text of the message.
Note: 6245 – SMS gateway number for most carriers.
Send up to 140 characters in a text message. This count includes recipient‘s email address, space and the
message to be sent.
Example:
AT+CMGS="6245"
>[e-mail] hi, there.<ctrl-Z>
+CMGS: 150
OK
