## Zephyr to SMS
-To send zephyrs to a phone address as an Athena user, use your favorite zephyr client (see [Using Zephyr](http://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/) if you're not sure what this means) to zwrite `daemon.webzephyr` with a class of `szs` and an instance of `1234567890@servicemail.foo`; for instance, in Barnowl,

Hi imaginary friend, how are you doing? I'm sending you a text message through Zephyr.
where you replace `1234567890@servicemail.foo` with the email address of the person you wish to reach (you can look up the email address for a given cellular provider online. See ). Additionally, if you're not sure what cellular provider your friend has, there are online services where you can look up the number and determine the carrier. For instance, try [http://www.whitepages.com/carrier_lookup](Free Cell Phone Carrier Lookup | Whitepages.com) (just enter in the "Mobile #" field, the "Name" and "Select Your Carrier" are unnecessary).
Here's what it will look like to people on zephyr:
- Zephyr from daemon.webzephyr 08:43 (http://szs.mit.edu)
+ Zephyr from daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu 08:43 (http://szs.mit.edu)
Hi kusername, nice work sending me a text message through Zephyr. Here's a text message to Zephyr test.
(Sent by 1234567890@servicemail.foo via the webzephyr SMS/Email to Zephyr gateway.
- Zephyr replies to daemon.webzephyr -c szs -i 1234567890@servicemail.foo )
+ Zephyr replies to daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu -c szs -i 1234567890@servicemail.foo )
### Classes
Simply send messages to **classname+instance@szs.mit.edu** (the instance is optional, but the plus preceeding it is not).
Your message will appear like this:
- classname / instance / daemon.webzephyr 02:56 (http://szs.mit.edu)
+ classname / instance / daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu 02:56 (http://szs.mit.edu)
A test message!

- Zephyr replies to daemon.webzephyr -c szs -i 1234567890@servicemail.foo )
+ Zephyr replies to daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu -c szs -i 1234567890@servicemail.foo )
### Filtering
As it turns out, for the same reasons that make replying to text messages such a pain, messages sent to Zephyr will appear in your personals (and can be viewed in Barnowl with the shortcut `[Alt-p]`) but messages you send in reply will not show up. This can make it annoying to carry on a conversation. To get text messages sent through Zephyr to show up in your personals (in Barnowl), you can edit your personal filter. To get your changes to persist across Barnowl sessions, you should directly edit your startup configuration file. This, by default, is the `startup` file in the `~/.owl` folder (where "~" stands for your home folder, so the full path should be something like `/mit/kusername/.owl/startup`).
To color all your SMS <-> Zephyr messages separately from your other personals messages, add another line that will override the coloring you gave it under the personal filter:
- filter szs -c cyan ( class ^szs$ ) or ( sender daemon.webzephyr@ATHENA.MIT.EDU )
+ filter szs -c cyan ( class ^szs$ ) or ( sender daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU )
So you'll have general personals in one color, and SMS <-> Zephyr messages in a separate color, both of which appear when you hit `[Alt-p]`.
