The emitSMS plugin for Address Book has been updated to use native Mac OS methods to access the phone over Bluetooth, rather than using an emulated serial port. This should make it less flaky when used under Snow Leopard. You can get the updated plugin here, and the new source code is here.

Thank you for keeping it alive!
I had really no luck using emitSMS because after the first SMS, Bluetooth communication with the phone was unsuccessful.
Now using your version, sending SMS is easy and always possible, but the interface hang displaying the wheel and the message “sending 1 messages…” as in the picture I uploaded here: bit.ly/3TikXj
Any ideas? I’m running Snow Leopard (10.6.1)
I tried the 2009-10-1 version and the ‘debug’ version and neither worked. The widget v 1.99 doesn’t work either. The widget says “Unable to reset connection” and the plugin fails to open the port properly. This would be a great feature! 10.5.8

hallo and thx for your work! nice.
but:
emitsms in dashboard works with 10.6.1 and nokia 6300 and port bluetooth modem.
the plugin shows not the bluetooth modem option.
the fon works with the com port but hangs after sending sms.
any help?
Problems with emitSMS widget and ABplugin: First sms is OK, then I get the error. My phone is a Nokia N73, my Apple a MBP (Intel). Had no problems with the widget and my MBP G4.
I really hope you can fix this, I like to type my messages with a full keyboard…

P.S.
I have an ABSMSPlugin.log, the most interesting bit is “+CMS ERROR: 500″.
I get this error
Failed: got reply”+CMS ERROR:500″ to send command
I can send fine from the dashboard widget via and older Nokia 6263
Looks like the German site hosting this widget are out of business, site is down. Anybody know of a mirror for the latest version? Or want to put one up? It’s always been a patchy widget this one, often works, often not.
after the first everything worhed fine as expected.
There is a small annoying point:
If I change the bluetooth setting on my phone
and I do “authorize” my computer to connetc AUTOMATICALLY
to the phone without asking a confirmation, the connection does not work.
If i change the option and I do NOT authorize automatically the phon, and thus I have to confirm the connectio every time, It works again.
Any Hint or suggestion as a work around?

Hi Daniele,
Can you try installing the ‘Debug’ version from http://sigmaris.info/files/emitSMSAddressBookPlugin.bundle.debug.zip instead? Then try using the plugin in the situation where it fails, i.e. when the computer is authorised to connect automatically, and send me the debugging log file generated in your home directory (ABSMSPlugin.log). I’ll have a look and try and figure out why it’s failing.
Très bon plugin, mais n marche pas avec mon motorola KRZR, une idée ??
Very good plugin, but doesn’t N go with my Motorola KRZR, an idea??
Oh, man. I have still the communication problem after the first SMS.
It seems like the BT link with the phone is not resetted as it should after the first use. I think so because a reboot of the two devices solves the problem and the plugin works again without error!
Maybe it’s a phone issue?
I have a Nokia E51.
Hi,
Can you try replacing the plugin with the debug build from here: http://sigmaris.info/files/emitSMSAddressBookPlugin.bundle.debug.zip
and try sending SMS with that plugin? Then, send me the file “ABSMSPlugin.log” that it’ll create in your home directory. Just e-mail it to sigmaris (at) gmail.com
Thanks!
Done!
If I can help in some way you only have to ask.
Thanks for your work and effort.
