If you are looking for a removable eUICC solution, such as eSIM.me or 5ber.eSIM, I recommend buying eSTK.me. It is more reliable and offers more features. You can purchase it here, and you can use the coupon code eSIMCyou to get a 10% discount.

Introduction

This program enables you to manage your SMS via a Telegram bot, including tasks such as receiving and sending SMS. To use this program, you will need a Telegram account and a Telegram bot. You can create a Telegram bot by interacting with BotFather and following the provided instructions.

I have thoroughly tested this program and found it to work well. However, its compatibility with your system may vary. Should you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to inform me.

Tested Devices

Requirements

• ModemManager: Essential for managing modems.

Installation & Usage

You can obtain the latest release from the releases page.

If you want to build it yourself, you can run the following commands:

git clone git@github.com:damonto/telegram-sms.git
cd telegram-sms
go build -trimpath -ldflags="-w -s" -o telegram-sms main.go

Sometimes, you might need to set executable permissions for the binary file using the following command:

chmod +x telegram-sms

Once done, you can run the program with root privileges:

sudo ./telegram-sms --bot-token=YourTelegramToken --admin-id=YourTelegramChatID

QMI

Since the new version of libqmi has not been officially released, you will need to compile libqmi manually.

For detailed build instructions, refer to libqmi's official documentation.

If you already have libqmi version 1.35.5 or later installed, you can skip this step.

# sudo pacman -S --needed meson ninja pkg-config bash-completion libgirepository help2man glib2 libgudev libmbim libqrtr-glib (Arch Linux)
# sudo apt-get install -y meson ninja-build pkg-config bash-completion libgirepository1.0-dev help2man libglib2.0-dev libgudev-1.0-dev libmbim-glib-dev libqrtr-glib-dev (Ubuntu/Debian)
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi.git
cd libqmi
meson setup build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
ninja -j$(nproc) -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

Once you have compiled and installed libqmi, you can run the program with the following command:

sudo ./telegram-sms --bot-token=YourTelegramToken --admin-id=YourTelegramChatID

If you wish to run the program in the background, you can utilize the systemctl command. Here is an example of how to achieve this:

1. Start by creating a service file in the /etc/systemd/system directory. For instance, you can name the file telegram-sms.service and include the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Telegram SMS Forwarder
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/your/binary/path/here/telegram-sms --bot-token=YourTelegramToken --admin-id=YourTelegramChatID
RestartSec=10s
TimeoutStopSec=30s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Then, use the following command to start the service:

sudo systemctl start telegram-sms

3. If you want the service to start automatically upon system boot, use the following command:

sudo systemctl enable telegram-sms
