  Receiving of messages
Received messages are stored in a folder defined by configuration. The filename will be IN<date>_<time>_<serialno>_<phone_number>_<sequence>.<ext>, for example NN20021130_021531_00_+45409000931640979_00.txt. Explanation of fields: <date> - date in format YYYYMMDD
<time> - time in format HHMMSS
<serialno> - order of a message (in case more messages were received at same time), in format NN
<sequence> - part of the message for multipart messages, in format NN
<ext> - txt for text message, 8-bit messages are stored with bin extension The content of the file is content of the message and the format is defined by configuration directive InboxFormat (see gammu-smsdrc(5)).

  Transmitting of messages
Transmitted messages are read from a folder defined by configuration. The filename should be one of the following formats: - OUT<phone_number>.<ext><options>
- OUT<priority>_<phone_number>_<serialno>.<ext><options>
- OUT<priority><date>_<time>_<serialno>_<phone_number>_<anything>.<ext><options> Explanation of fields: <priority> - an alphabetic character (A-Z) A = highest priority
<ext> - txt for normal text SMS
<options> - Options appended to the extension applying to text SMS:
 d - delivery report requested
 f - flash SMS

SMSes will be transmitted sequentially based on the file name. The contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or standard character set). The contents of the file is the SMS to be transmitted (in Unicode or standard character set), for WAP bookmarks it is split on as Name,URL, for text messages whole file content is used. Please note that if file is not in Unicode, encoding is detected based on locales, which do not have to be configured if SMSD is running from init script. If this is your case, please add locales definition to init script.
