How are you testing the SMS function? SMS button is enabled only if a message comes in or there one to be read. Let me know; I will try it out with my son's iPhone; I use a Blackberry.

My understanding is that SMS does not work via bluetooth -- only with a phone connected via cradle.

I was just on the AWS site (wireless4mb.com) - the iphone with s/w 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 is approved, but if you read the BT adapter manual it will tell you that SMS isn't supported. It's one of the reasons I still like my cradle and don't use the module all that much.
