This is a simple python app to send (currently free) sms with one of the Betamax VOIP services. It's cheap and simple. Because I have no time to dig deeper into python and pygtk, I hope somebody with better python voodoo skills can take over this script and improve it. You can take full credits for this script.
I also have a version which is using the build in addressbook though python2.5-evolution, but it's only able to fetch the first phone number of a contact - not really usable, PM me if you would like to have it.

I would like to see: full integration with the addressbook, but without python-abook it's probably not possible. Dropdown contacts editor. Preferences. Deb file?

Installation:
You need python for this, the quickest way to get python with all the necessary stuff is to install gPodder from the extras.

# vi /usr/local/bin/betamax.py

#   Enter recipients phone number in the field, or select 
#   a contact from the dropdown list, type your message and
#   click the send button. Sometimes the Betamax server returns
#   an error, but the SMS is delivered successfuly, this also
#   happens through web - nothing I can fix.
