So I can sent and recieve SMS through adress book.



But is this open in any way? Could that be incorporated and be used in more advanced solutions?



Would someone be able to make a program that did different processes when it detected a sms from certain numbers or with a certain text to take an example? I would kill for such a feature.

    Well, if you want something to happen when you receive an SMS from a certain number, sign up for mail2web. It's free to receive SMS, and you can have it send you an email, or send the data via HTTP. If you choose the latter, you can set up scripts on your computer to respond to the message in whatever way you wish.



    No, it's not the same as doing things directly, but it might be useful...

    With a bluetooth mobile phone. Pair the phone to the computer, then press the bluetooth icon in address book. Clicking on a phone number in address book gives you the option to send an sms or to dial that number. You can type the sms on your computer, and it's sent through the phone

    Beware of the Sony-Ericsson P900 (or any other Symbian OS mobile phone - it fails in doing this.

    The easiest way to do this would be using Apple Script I would think ... I wonder what's in Address Book's dictionary?

    BluePhoneMenu is a very nice piece of software for calling/sms via bluetooth. I know it can be configured to run an applescript via receiving a phone call to your mobile, but I'm not sure if it can do this on receipt of SMS.
