Sat Feb 21, 2015 8:45 pm

hi
I would like to use a mobile phone as a modem with my Raspberry (through USB)
My wish is to send SMS with gammu
I have an old Blackberry to do it, but it is not see like a modem on my raspberry
slush show it but dmesg show it as a storage media but not a modem

Is someone already did it with a blackberry?
How can Ido it

I can't speak with authority on the blackberry component, I use a 3g USB data stick to send sms text messages using smstools from the repository. However, I did have the same problem that the device showed up as a storage device in lsusb.

I was able to use usb_modeswitch to enable the pi to see the 3g USB stick as a serial device, which in turn let me send sms messages.

Hi,

I've updated my blog with a bit more detail, hope it proves useful. I am no technical author though, so it is a bit rough around the edges.

Anyway, hope it helps.

There is a tool called Barry on linux for mangaging a Blackberry.
