Hello.

I skim in here as most developers are really busy with the GSM network
setup at the CCCamp at the moment.

Jolly or Sylvain will maybe know better but I think there is no SMS
functionality at all in osmocom bb right now. What we have though is
the SMS code on the networking side in OpenBSC. This could be used as
base for sharing this between osmocom.bb and OpenBSC.

You should have a look at libosmocore and the openbsc codebase first
to figure out what parts of SMS functionality is there first.

This would at least give you some support here. We had some problems
with supporting people without getting anything back. Be it docs,
useful bug reports or actual code. :/

Anyway a putting up a public repo with your code will show other
people what you have and perhaps help you debug it.
