When I tried sending a picture as a test it appeared to work but the other end did not received the picture. The other end happens to be a <strong>Pinephone</strong>. The <strong>Pinephone</strong> has massive problems with sending and receiving pictures over text messages as well. That means that I do not have a reliable way to test this without bothering some third-party. And asking some less-tech savvy person to spend some time calling me back and forth to confirm or deny that they received or did not receive a text is not a good idea.

- I didn't test further because of a big problem this exposed. Infinite messages! No matter how many times I delete the test messages they keep re-appearing. I checked the modem using the <code class="code">mmctl</code> program. This program does not make it easy to use the modem but as far as I can tell the message is not there. I checked the file-system and found chatty file database (I feel the strong urge to rant on the stupidity of an <abbr title="Structured Query Language">SQL</abbr> database for local file settings here). Deleting this database file deletes every text message except the one I want to get rid off.

- The only thing I can think of is that it is still somewhere in the modem and I need to study more on how to use <code class="code">mmctl</code> program. I find the interface horrendous and I am considering writing a replacement to this program.
