SMS Service - User's Guide

You use the number '+45 4060 6361' to SEND SMS requests for WX messages to our SMS Service system.
To make it easy to send requests, we recommend that you enter the WX Support SMS Service phone numbers in the phone book of your mobile phone. Please enter the number '+45 4060 6361' and name the entry 'WXSUPPORT SMS'.

To be able to recognize the messages received from the system, you can also enter the number the system uses to send messages to you. The number is '+45 28929422'. You could call this number 'INCOMING MET'. PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO SEND MESSAGES TO THIS NUMBER.

Now you can request MET messages by sending a SMS message to 'WXSUPPORT SMS'. The request is written by keying in a few letters followed by an ICAO or IATA code. Please do not make a space between the command and the ICAO/IATA code. Available commands are as follows:

Command	Meaning	Example
WM	SA (METAR)	WMEKBI or WMBLL
WT	FC (TAF)	WTEKBI or WTBLL
WL	FT (LONG TAF)	WLEKBI or WLBLL
WX	SA, FT OR FC*	WXEKBI or WXBLL
FA	Find Airport (followed by search string)	FABILL or any other search string - for example FALUND
AI	Airport Information	AIEKBI OR AIBLL
WF	FT (LONG TAF) or FC (TAF) as available	WFEKBI or WFBLL

*WX WILL RETURN A MINIMUM 2 MESSAGES TO YOUR PHONE
(actual number of SMS messages required depends on the length of the 2 MET messages requested)

Receive weather automatically when available:

To have new WM, WT or WL information automatically sent to you when it becomes available, you can add a number from 2 to 9 (both included) immediately after the command line (i.e. no space).
For example you could send the command line WMEKBI9 to receive the current METAR for EKBI (Billund) followed by the next 9 METARs when available.
Please note that the option is not available for the WX command.

Shortcuts:

If you just quickly want the current weather info, you can send ONLY the IATA or ICAO code. This will give you both METAR, TAF and long-TAF. Example: Sending the string BLL or EKBI is the same as sending WXEKBI
