I useful (but brief) introduction - By: C. D. Pickering, 26 Jan 2007
This is a fairly well written introduction. But it is only that, an introduction. Better suited to managers than developers.

Don't expect this book to alllow you to decode or create messages; you need the (freely downloaded) GSM specs for that. Check the 11.14 SAT spec before buying as that's relatively readable for a GSM spec & if you can understand it then this books not worth it. If you can't, it is.
Fascinating, helpful, unique book but could go further - By: Mr. S. Tuck, 12 Nov 2002
Guthery & Cronin have set out to explain a fascinating & useful area of mobile phone technology, which has the potential to make the phone in our pockets a much richer source of information & fun (without waiting for 3G which may never come). If you want to develop applications that run on phones, you should read this book. The book's code fragments & "hex" dumps of what should be going on inside the phone are invaluable, but they are incomplete -- it would be great if the authors' source code was available for download from a website.
The SMS Standard - By: , 19 Oct 2002
A useful book on this scarcely written about topic, but a lot of it is filled with just reguritation of the international SMS standard, although he does explain it well.
