[wellylug] SMS from Linix via cell

[William Hamilton]

Thanks Jamie - and yup slack response rate :)

I read over smstools a while back and was one at the top of my list - 
any recommendations on phone?  Anyone here use smstools - what phone do 
you use?  I have a USB Motorola L6 which I will get round to testing - 
anything "known good" that I can still source? (TradeMe included)

cheers
