How to send SMS using Kontact?
Create an account at smsjoker (or something similar). Prices are ok and writing SMS at your PC just rocks.
Load script “smsjoker-script” from kde-apps.org. Open Konsole and get root. Copy script to /opt/kde3/bin and make it executable:
# cp smsjoker-script /opt/kde3/bin/ # chmod a+x /opt/kde3/bin/smsjoker-script
Call up program as regular user once.
$ smsjoker-script
Now you will find a hidden file called “.smsjoker-script” in your home directory. Open this file with e.g. Kate and change parameters “OWN_NUMBER” and “PASSWORD”. Use values you have used when creating your account.
Last step has to be done in Kontact. Open addressbook and select "Settings > Configure addressbook …”.
Look for “SMS Text” and enter the following string:
smsjoker-script "%N" "%F"
