I have created an Android Phone App that uses Andy’s (MM0FMF) SMS → Spotlite gateway.
Fill in the boxes and the App will format it correctly for you and send the SMS to the Spotlite gateway. No need to remember what order to put the information.
If anyone has an Android phone that uses Andy’s SMS gateway to Spot themselves, and would be interested in testing and giving thoughts / criticisms send me an email (anpepper+ds ‘at’ gmail.com) and I’ll send you a copy.
Keep in mind if you are outside the UK, international SMS charges will apply.
In reply to DL4OCE:
It’s not going to be in the market at present as I want to be able to control the release of it. It’s still very basic. I need to do a lot of work to it.
As Andy mentions Spotlite is already available for use with a GPRS connection. But I find that I usually do not get a 3G connection or less on a hill, but can usually find enough signal to eek out an SMS.
I have a few people testing now, at this point it’s going to be very limited in the release.
