More and more people own GSM capable Cell phones, and I'd like to have my boat call me when the bilge alarm or security alarm goes off.

This page is dedicated to resources to do that.

This space is reserved for (AT+CSMS) SMS  message formats and marine boat status autodialing with a USB cable.

Required an Motorola phone with SMS Text Messaging (Not an iDEN phone).

You need a cable from the PC to the Cell phone. Use hyperterm in Windows

Verizon Account Setup and Activation

Follow these steps to set up a wireless account:

• Contact Verizon to obtain an account.

• Provide the Verizon agent with each modem's 8-character ESN number ( 8 digits) inside the phone or MEID

Mobile Equipment IDentifiers (MEID)

A Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID) is a globally unique number for a physical piece of mobile station equipment. Equipment identifiers are 'burned' into a device, and should be resistant to modification. An ESN type can be distinguished as a pseudo ESN (pESN) based on the first 8 bits ('manufacturer' code) as derived from the MEID using the SHA-1 algorithm to reduce a 56-bit MEID to a 24-bit ESN. The pESN codes are not unique, but will not match any UIMID or true ESN (tESN) because they have a unique manufacturer code of 0x80 (decimal 128). The ESN will migrate to the MEID with assignments anticipated to begin in the 2004 to 2005 timeframe.

• Verizon will give you a 10-digit phone number for each modem (the MDN). Record this number — it is needed

in order to use your modem.

• Once you have your Verizon account, activate the modem by entering the AT commands as follows:

 

In hyperterminal it's
AT+CSCA="48601000310",145
Then set for text with
AT+CMGF=1
Next enter your number to send to
AT+CMGS="0601456807"
You should get "" displayed. Enter your message - don't press return
but
enter Ctrl-Z at the end of the message. When this is sent you'll get

+CGMS: 0 (or another number).
I've just checked this on a RAZR.
