SMS with phonelink : which phones work and which don't

From Internet Tablet Talk

Here is a list of phones known to work (or not) with [phonelink] for dialing and/or sending sms.

As Phonelink relies on [gnokii] for handling the communication between the IT and the phone, this information is true for every app that is also based on gnokii (aka cell phone tool). You can also find information on phones working with gnokii [here].
