Accessing Mobile Phones in Sid

I had been searching for a software that could enable me to access the contents of my Siemens M65. Today I came across Gammu that enabled me to do it all. Wammu is a gtk frontend that makes things easier.

This is how I installed and configured those two:

#apt-get install wammu gammu

Now I had to make a configuration file for my M65:

#vim ~/.gammurc

Now added these lines there:

[gammu]
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
connection=at115200
name=M65
model=at

Now I ran wammu and from the phone menu selected connect. Now I was able to do all the cool stuffs in linux that I was used to doing in windows from mobile phone manager sofware. The most important feature is the backup mode that enbles one to create backups of messages and contacts.


Here is a sreenshot from the message section:
