# Quick and dirty code to read and send SMS messages for Huawei EC122 CDMA Modem.
#
# Most likely this will NOT work with any other GSM/CDMA phones/modems, as the AT
# commands of Huawei EC122 seem different from Nokia's or any other GSM modems.
#
# Please use a better solution like Gammu for supported modems:
