sms problem

Below is my request to diamondcard.us followed by Diamondcard's response.

I have an account with you folks, 471236. I am trying to use ekiga 4.0.1 to
send and receive sms text messages from my personal diamondcard number,
17753139104.

I can use ekiga to call other phones and receive calls from other phones.

I want to set up ekiga so that I can also send and receive text messages from
17753139104. However, I see no button or place on ekiga which allows me to
send text messages. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

John White

NOW HERE IS DIAMONDCARD'S RESPONSE:

Not sure how you do it with the new version. It should not be different
than the older version. Maybe send an email to the Ekiga mailing list.

Does anyone on the ekiga list have a suggestion?

Thanks

Re: sms problem

Hi,

You just have to send an "instant message" to the desired [hidden email] using the text chat window.

Re: sms problem

Thanks Damien,

I see nothing referencing something like "instant message." I see call a
number and when I call it, the phone being called rings and I start talking to
whoever answers the phone.. What do I do to send an "instant message" to that
number? I am missing something I fear. Probably something pretty simple. I
don't have a cell phone so don't know much about texting.

Re: sms problem

Hi John,

in the Ekiga panel I see a window with Contacts part way down. In there are some names
which have been added, including Self under which is my own name , and also Services
under which are Call back test, Conference room, Echo Test.
If you Right-Click on any name in the Contacts panel you will get a menu to choose from;
Call, Message, Edit, Remove, add New Contact. I haven't used such but it give an upper
and lower panel and It looks like this would be 'me" and "you" in the im conversation.

Hope this helps.

Tony

Re: sms problem

I enabled sms receive on my diamond card phone, which I call my "bat phone."
So when I send a text the reply shows in my email and on the diamondcard site.
But it doesn't show in the ekiga text window, probably because that number
must be a mobile (cell) number and I don't think the phone numbers diamondcard
gives out qualify as cell phone numbers.

Anyway, its pretty cool. I can receive and send text messages without having
a cellphone.

Thanks to all for your help.

John
