I have been trying to SMS with my Raspberry Pi using a Vodafone (Huawei)
K4606 USB stick with a vendor ID of 12D1 and a product ID of 1F19. It works
fine, using the provided Vodafone software, on a Windows box.

I found so many Raspberry Pi tutorials on the subject and all of them used a
USB stick that creates one or more ttyUSB devices (with or without
usb_modeswitch) that allows a user to issue AT commands, either directly
with the CLI on a terminal screen or a shell script, or through the use of a
utility such as Gammu. None of the resources I found talked about using wwan
to send and receive SMS, which is what my K4606 stick creates.

I am not interested in making phone calls, finding my GPS coordinates,
surfing the web or anything else at present. Only the sending and receiving
of text messages.

I did set the Port to(0x12d1:0x1f19) with every possible connection
available and also changed the port to (wwan0), again with every possible
connection available in gammu-config screen, rebooting and testing every
time, but never got anywhere.

I am trying to test it with a very simple:

echo "Hello World!" | sudo gammu --sendsms TEXT +61435055555

Depending on the Gammu connection selected, the errors returned are either:

Error opening device, it doesn't exist.

Unknown connection type string. Check config file.

Error opening device. Some hardware not connected/wrongly configured.

Bluetooth configuration requires channel option.

Desired functionality has been disabled on compile time.

Error opening device. Unknown, busy or no permissions.

I just do not know where to go from here and am hoping that someone may be
able to give me some guidance.
