NAME
gnokii - tool suite for mobile phones
SYNOPSIS
gnokii [CONFIG OPTIONS] [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
gnokii is a multiple systems tool suite and driver for mobile phones.
gnokii supports the AT protocol defined by the GSM standard (with workarounds for some
vendor's quirks), some proprietary protocols of Nokia phones (the so called FBUS and
FBUS2) and SIM cards in PC/SC compatible Smart Card readers. Limited support for the
older and slow Nokia MBUS protocol is also available.
You can assume that your phone will work with gnokii when using the AT protocol, however
some phones implement only a subset of the protocol and in those cases you will get very
limited functionality. The recommended model setting for your config file are:
- model = series40, if you have a fairly recent Nokia phone except Symbian phones prior
to Series60 3rd Edition
- model = gnapplet, if you have a Nokia Symbian Series60 prior to 3rd Edition phone
- model = AT, for all other phones of any brand
- if you have some older Nokia phone that doesn't work with model = series40 you may try
using its brand name, eg. for Nokia 6210 use model = 6210.
The recommended connection and port settings for your config file are:
- connection = bluetooth and port = phone address, for Bluetooth connections
- connection = dku2libusb and port = 1, for most Nokia USB cables
- connection = serial and port = /dev/..., for all other cables
See also the sample gnokiirc for a description of all configuration parameters and our
<http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config> for configurations known to work.
Symbian series60 3rd edition and later (most Nokia N and E series) are not supported by
the gnapplet driver due to changes in Symbian API. For now you can get some functionality
using the AT driver (with all connection types supported by the phone) or using the
series40 driver (only with connection = dku2libusb).
Please note that currently there are Nokia models with almost the same names as the old
ones, like 6110c vs 6110 or 3110c vs 3110. They are completly incompatible. DO NOT use
model = 6110 or model = 3110 setting for them, use model = series40 instead.
CONFIG OPTIONS
--config filename
reads configuration from filename instead of trying default locations. Normally
gnokii looks for config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnokii/config (which is usually
$HOME/.config/gnokii/config), $HOME/.gnokiirc (legacy),
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/gnokii/config (which is usually /etc/xdg/gnokii/config) and
/etc/gnokiirc (legacy).
--phone name
usees parameters from the given phone section of your config file. A phone section
named 'foo' starts with [phone_foo] and is used as --phone foo
OPTIONS
The options that are recognized by gnokii can be divided into several different groups.
GENERAL
--help displays usage information.
--version
displays version and copyright information.
--monitor [delay|once]
continually updates phone status to stderr. Optional delay parameter sets the
refresh interval to delay seconds. Default is 1. once means the output will be
printed only once.
--shell
runs interactive session that will allow to run sequent gnokii commands without a
need to reconnect for the sequent commands.
DIALING
--getspeeddial location
reads speed dial from the specified location.
--setspeeddial number memory_type location
specify speed dial. location number 1 is usually reserved for voice mailbox number
and it is unavailable as speed dial.
--dialvoice number
initiate voice call. On success print the callid identifier to be used with the
--hangup command. The --monitor command can be used to show the callid.
With model = AT direct dialing from phonebooks is supported with careful use of
shell quoting, for example:
gnokii --dialvoice ">SM42" # dial the number in location 42 of SM memory
gnokii --dialvoice '>"Home"' # dial the number if string matches exactly a contact
name (note the use of single and double quotes)
--senddtmf string
send DTMF sequence.
--answercall callid
answer an incoming call. callid is a small integer number used to identify one of
the incoming calls. The --monitor command can be used to show the callid.
--hangup callid
hangup an incoming call or an already established call. callid is a small integer
number used to identify one of the incoming calls. If you initiated the call with
--dialvoice this is the number printed by that command. The --monitor command can
be used to show the callid.
--divert {--op|-o} {register|enable|query|disable|erasure} {--type|-t}
{all|busy|noans|outofreach|notavail} {--call|-c} {all|voice|fax|data} [{--timeout|-m}
time_in_seconds] [{--number|-n} number]
Manage call diverting/forwarding.
--op specifies one of the operations: register enable query disable erasure
--type specifies one of the event types: busy noans outofreach notavail
unconditional all
--call specifies one of the call types: voice fax data all
--timeout is the number of seconds an incoming call will ring before being
forwarded to the registered number (use with --type noans)
--number is the phone number to which calls are to be forwarded
PHONE SETTINGS
--getdisplaystatus

--deletealltodos
delete all notes from the ToDo list.
CALENDAR
--getcalendarnote start_number [end_number|end] [-v|--vCal]

end and print them to stdout by default. end can be a number or the string 'end'.
If end is not specified only one location - start is read.
For the memory types you usually use IN (Inbox) and OU (Outbox) for Nokias and SM
(SIM card) and ME (phone memory) for other brands, except for modern Motorolas that
prefer MT (combined SIM and phone memory); in any case the --showsmsfolderstatus
command shows the list of memory types available in your phone with their
descriptions and message counts (each part of multipart messages is counted
separately).
-f | --file file - save messages to file in mbox format. If file already exists,
user is prompted whether to overwrite it
-F | --force-file file - save messages to file in mbox format. If file already

--viewlogo logofile
print the logofile as ASCII art. Formats that are automatically detected are: NOL,
NGG, NSM, NLM, BMP, I61, GGP, XPM. The OTA format can be used only if the filename
ends with the .otb extension.
Format of network_code parameter is 3 digits MCC, a space, 2 digits MNC surrounded by
single or double quotes, eg. "123 45".
RINGTONES
--sendringtone destination rtttlfile
send the rtttlfile to destination as ringtone.

PHONEBOOK
--getphonebook memory_type start_number [end_number|end]
[[-r|--raw]|[-v|--vcard]|[-l|--ldif]]
reads specified memory location from phone. If end_number is not specified only
one location - start is read. If instead of end_number the text end is specified
then gnokii will read from start_number until it encounters a non-existant
location. Valid memory types are ME, SM, FD, ON, EN, DC, RC, MC, LD:
ME Internal memory of the mobile equipment
SM SIM card memory
FD Fixed dial numbers
ON Own numbers
EN Emergency numbers
DC Dialled numbers
RC Received calls
MC Missed calls
LD Last dialed numbers
Normally you get human readable output. Please note, that it is not compatible with
expected input by --writephonebook. You can use -v or --vcard switch to get output in
vCard format or -l or --ldif switch to get output in ldif format or -r or --raw switch to
get the raw output which is explained below. You can use it then with --writephonebook.
--writephonebook [-o|--overwrite] [-f|--find-free] [-m|--memory-type|--memory memory_type]
[-n|--memory-location|--location number] [[-v|--vcard]|[-l|--ldif]]
reads data from stdin and writes to phonebook. Uses the format as provided by the
output of the getphonebook command using --raw or --vcard or --ldif. Default is
raw format (see below for details) and alternate formats are vCard and ldif.
Default --getphonebook output format is not compatible with --writephonebook.
With --memory-type memory_type and --memory-location number you can set a memory type and
a location if the input data doesn't specify them.
When the -o or --overwrite option is used, existing entries at a given location are
overwritten.
When the -f or --find-free option is given, gnokii tries to find a free location. In this
case, you can omit the location field in the input data.
The raw phonebook format is very simple. Each line represents one entry. Fields are
separated by semicolons. Semicolons aren't allowed inside a field. The fields have to be
in this order (the subentries are optional, ie. you can repeat all subentry field multiple
times, but they have to be alltogether in the given order):
name
number
memory_type
entry_location
caller_group_number
subentry_type
subentry_number_type
subentry_id
subentry_text
Possible values of caller_group_number and the corresponding caller groups are (these are
defaults, you are able to change these manually in your phone):
0 Family
1 VIP
2 Friends
3 Colleagues
4 Other
5 No group
Possible subentry types are described in the gnokii/common.h file:
7 subentry is the name
8 subentry is the email address
9 subentry is the postal address (snail mail)
10 subentry is the note (text field)
11 subentry is the number
12 subentry is the ringtone
19 subentry is the date (used for DC, RD, LD)
26 subentry is the pointer (pointer to the other memory)
27 subentry is the logo (bitmap)
28 subentry is the logo switch
30 subentry is the group (octect)
44 subentry is the URL
47 subentry is the location (octect)
51 subentry is the image (file id)
55 subentry is the ringtoneadv (file id or ringtone)
56 subentry is the userid
63 subentry is the pttaddress
67 subentry is the extgroup
69 subentry is the video (file id)

78 subentry is the stateprovince
79 subentry is the zipcode
50 subentry is the country
82 subentry is the formalname
84 subentry is the jobtitle
85 subentry is the company

2 number is the home phone number
3 number is the mobile phone number
4 number is the fax number
6 number is the work phone number
10 number is the general number
For the subentry types that don't care about number type (as text files) this should be
set to 0.

emulates typing a character on phone keyboard. By emulating multiple pressions of
keys, it can input all characters supported by the phone in use, but to input an
SMS predictive text should be disabled. Input is read from stdin, with newline
interpreted as the "Menu" key and escape interpreted as the "Names" key.
Note: this command isn't supported by all phones/drivers.

DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed to standard error. The exit code is 0 for correct
functioning. Errors which appear to be caused by invalid or abused command line
parameters cause an exit code of 2, and other errors cause an exit code of 1.
BUGS
We write quality software here ;) but see KNOWN_BUGS just in case. If you'd like to send
