kalkun_0.4rc1 is better than kalkun_0.3 but maybe I found huge bugs. when I compose sms, its not delivered because on the OUTBOX table > fields: SENDERID and CREATORID always inputed SIERRA, thats not appropriate ID phone on phone table. On my case, I used wavecom (phone id: wavecom). thanks a lot

I've been using this for a while and it works well. There are a few bugs but the developer works hard to fix them. Props to the developers!
