I have problems getting the above phone to work. Maybe you have some suggestions.

The smsd.conf:
devices = GSM1 logfile = /var/log/smsd.log loglevel = 5 failed = /var/spool/sms/failed report = /var/spool/sms/report sent = /var/spool/sms/sent [GSM1] device = /dev/ttyACM1 incoming = yes pin = xxxx baudrate = 9600

The dmesg output:
[ 2134.256016] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 2134.434033] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0421, idProduct=00f0 [ 2134.434046] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 2134.434055] usb 2-2: Product: Nokia 5220 XpressMusic [ 2134.434063] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Nokia [ 2134.434211] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 2134.492243] cdc_acm 2-2:1.1: ttyACM1: USB ACM device [ 2134.495786] usb 2-2: bad CDC descriptors [ 2134.512039] usb 2-2: bad CDC descriptors

And finally the smstools3 log output:

Is there a chance at all to get this phone running or do I have to look for another model? Thank you!

Sorry, you have to look for another model. While looking, consider to select a real modem.

Nokia 5220 is a smart phone which is based on Series 40 platform. Those devices with S40 3rd edition (and also with S60) can only send messages. Incoming messages are not shown through the AT command interface.

Ok, thanks a lot. Will try with another one. The 6610 should work, shouldn't it?

6610 is a S40 based device too, but 2nd edition or below because incoming messages can be read. Assuming that this device supports PDU mode, it can be used with Smstools3. Usually PDU mode is supported, only few very old devices may support ASCII mode only and cannot be used.
