cmdPhone now open source!

cmdPhone is basically a command line wrapper for the BT SDK with which you can send SMS messages, make phone calls to plain old landline phones and/or mobile phones and make conference calls (almost anywhere in the world).

cmdPhone was originally developed for troubleshooting issues with the SDK (Thus the raw direct-to-console handling of exceptions). The command line tool can be used in a "script" mode in which you can call a particular function together with the relevant parameters in a single line and/or a simple "friendly" mode in which you are guided step by step

You can download cmdPhone HERE it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to download and set up. Please let me know how you got along with it!

Note: Unfortunately the really cool “mobile phone location tracking” feature has been withdrawn from the latest version of the SDK and as such I have removed said functionality, however, If you are really interested in getting the old version (which is a lot more difficult to install as it requires WSE3) just drop me a line.

PS: After some initial feedback, I can tell that the setup process is not as simple as it could be (diagram here) I have started coding a semi-automated setup which should ease the pain.
