Sending SMS Messages
To send an SMS message, click the SMS tab on the SoftGSM SMS & Phonebook management
dialog box and enter the message, the recipient’s number, and then press the Send SMS button. If
the recipient’s number is an international number, then omit any leading zeros. For example, the
Swedish number 0701234567 should be entered as 46701234567 if it is to be interpreted as an
international number.

On the Settings tab, you can select the type of coding to be used when sending an SMS message.
The 7-bit coding scheme should work for most transmissions.
Phonebook Utility
Phone numbers can be stored in either the memory of the phone or the SIM (Subscriber Information
Module) card in your GSM phone. To simplify the handling of all the numbers, you can use the
phonebook functionality of MultiMobile SoftGSM. You can work with multiple phonebooks, editing,
adding and deleting records and then upload the updated phonebooks to the preferred storage in the
phone (memory or SIM). You can also download your current phonebook from the phone and store
or edit it on your PC.
Each phonebook record contains:
• Name: used to store a descriptive text for the record
• Phonenumber: contains the phone number
• International: used to indicate if the phone number is an international number
(i.e., it contains a country code) or is a national number
To edit the properties of a phonebook or a record, click on its name in the tree presentation, then edit
its properties to the right.
The Phonebook functions include:
• New record
• New phonebook
• Read phonebook (from phone)
• Write phonebook (to phone)
• Delete (record or phonebook)
