Re: Introducing certain delay between messages

Hi Jan, just to let you know this worked out as expected, many thanks!

I have just modified the first static declaration as follow:

static time_t timer; // added
timer = time (NULL);  // added

instead of:

static time_t timer = time (NULL); // added

I will try to get a way to have the initial delay as a variable (i.e, 60
secs, then 40, then 50, ). 
This is because I have noticed different behaviors in different GSM
telcos with regards to the sms speed.

Anyway, your input was flawlessly. Thanks so much.
