FAQ
What is it?SwissSMS is a Mac OS X front-end to SMS operators services. It stores your outgoing messages and can export them too. Several plugins need an (eventually free) subscription, except Romandie that is totaly free. Why did you write this software?I did write SwissSMS for my own needs. I formerly used the Dashboard Widget OrangeSMS http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/email_messaging/orangechsms.html. I was not satisfied with the following facts:
Do you know Luscious SMS?After having written SwissSMS, I googled "SwissSMS" and discovered Luscious SMS http://www.treeinspired.com/. SwissSMS compares to Luscious SMS, but is not so polished and doesn't have as many plugins. It is free, though! Do you know SMSGateway?Yes. SMSGateway is in fact a fork of the SwissSMS projet by Anthony Mittaz. It basically offers another user interface to SwissSMS "engine". http://www.anthonymittaz.com/SMSGateway/ I'm not happy or have a requestYou can post comment and features requests at the bottom of this page. Bug reports go in the "Issues" tab. The source code is opened and free, released under the GPL 2 licence, included with SwissSMS sources. Send your patches and operators plugins to swisssms at seriot dot ch. What's next?
How can I write a plugin for my operator?See the sources. There is a plugin template with a readme. Please drop me a line if you write a plugin or if you need some help. I'll be happy to add your plugin to SwissSMS or link it from this website. History

the program is bugged. it's always closing (bug) when I send sms...!
Please open an issue and post the stack trace.
Hi, that's a very cool application, love it to see. It would be nice, if you would be able to apply something like the adress book does, to receive sms. So you would be able to make a clear history, like it is on the iPhone. Do you know what I mean?
Love to see it going on... :-)

Hi guys! great job on this little and efficient app! I'm enjoying it very much, thank for creating it..
Just wanted to ask if was possible for the future to implement Yallo.ch sms!..i switched over this year from swisscom with all my friends, and are really really happy about it!
anyhow, thanks again for the app. ciao!
Hello, please post enhancement requests in the Issues tab :-)
Hello
great Tool
Whould be great if to could choose (with a pulldown-menu) to switch between each provider. I own 2 GSM-Phones (Swisscom and Sunrise) and it would be nice to switch between them without going in the preferences.
Regards Gérard
Gerard: good idea, I think we could add an optional popup menu in the toolbar. I will implement it in a next release.
Just a suggestion: why not a version for the iPhone / iPod Touch ?
Impossible to connect to sunrise. My keychain login is correct. No problem with Orange, but the login with sunrise remains unauthorised (but logged without any problem with safari)? Do you know why? (I have the last version released presently)
christophe: I guess it was temporary because for me the sunrise plugin works correctly
Hi there,
I just wanted to ask if you checked if this is legal? I made something similar (http://www.smartwebdesign.ch/services/smsaender.php) and would like to offer the successor as a service. But I need to be sure that I get in no troubles...
regards Michael
Hey peeps, I love your app!
I have a suggestion for a feature: In iCal, one can set a reminder for a given event which you can choose from a list, i.e. send an email to a specific address, open a file or… execute a script!
So, i'd find it great if i could send myself an iCal reminder via SMS. It should be possible via AppleScript?, but I'm not an expert in tech things. My suggestion to you is to make a user-friendly approach to this iCal reminder thingy.
Cheers, Thiemo
I love the app, but sunrise has changed the access https://mip.sunrise.ch is the new starting point. I tried to change the Plugin of Christian Rüegg, but failed ...
Dommage

Hi i like this Programm very much, but i miss something like this on the iphone. Because the hispeed sms are cheaper than those from the phone. Do you have plan to write an similar iphone-app?
nice app! I wait the iphone version!!!
didnt work anymore since sunrise changed their sites...
It doesn't seem to work anymore with Orange as well...
Hi really appreciate SWISSSMS. DO You guys plan to write a version for the iPhone ? that would allows an alternative to the high price of SMS sent thru iPhone
cheers, SA
An iPhone version is on its way.
Plugins will be much easier to create and maintain up to date.
We intend to release it in January or February 2009.
hi i realy love the tool, but don't really get on with writing a plugin for my self.. can anyone help me in creating one for POSTMAIL ? there is (i think) a half finished in the pluginist of swisssms...
thanks in advance
Hi, I already left a comment in the todo list and sorry for the double post! I reread your wiki and saw that you preferred ideas for future updates/plugins here... I looked into making my own for www.schoolnet.ch and got spooked by all the coding involved. I tried/will continue to try to make heads or tails of it, but think I'll fail.
I like the schoolnet site because you need to answer some knowledge questions to get points for sms. Most questions are very very easy and each correct response gives you five sms. I would appreciate you considering developing a plugin for this deserving site.
Thanks,
Phillyman
PS: If I can think of a way to contribute other than coding, please feel free to drop me a line
Any news on the Iphone version ?
To integrate the osx adressbook is great! to change it to a ldap-server would be great.
so a plugin for integration of ldap-server would be great!!!
any chance for this? jay
It doesn't seem to work anymore with Romandie: is it linked to the fact that now they require a free login with user & password?
Any chance to get an update to have this fixed? Hans
hello! first at all thanks for this software.
it doesn't seem to work anymore whit Sunrise too: it said me "Erreur lors de l'envoi :-(" do you know how can I fix it? thx Eric
Hello, I tried this software some time before. Then my provider changed. I wanted to use it again. But the old setup is misleading and I'm getting always a "couldn't send" error. How do I delete the old Orange setup an replace it? Thanks for your help. Kurt
