cant help much with code but i am currently doing very much the same with a 2550, as i found the f84/f88 to be short of code space.

the t68i will connect direct to a pic and is 5v tolerant, it works at 9600 and better at 4800, but 1200 gave best performance with 0 errors.

the t68i only works in pdu mode, but you can make the pdu stings in pduspy, and then just cut/paste them into your code for sending.

decoding is a little more tricky.... but you can cheat by reading your message in pdu and comparing it to what it should look like in pdu, you never need to use plain text, and should stop thinking of sms messages as messages and think of them as response strings, and as with all response strings, you compare them to what they should look like, its just as easy to compare 'ok' to 'ok' as it is to compare 32'65'66'67 to 32'65'66'67 as it is to ' ABC' - why waste time converting in chip, when you can convert before compile and just use the converted string.....

good luck.

and move to a bigger chip lol

/comments on his SW status, he says he has no manual, not that he's a pirate, have you never lost a manual?

and on my own point here, if he is a pirate, I'd sooner he was using PB and contributing to the group and not to some other group!
