The idea how smsd currently works is that it first checks if SMSStatus in
phone was chaged. If yes it download new sms's from phone. But some phone 
drivers don't have implemented function for checking SMSStatus. This seem to
be your case. I think that as workaround you can disable SMSStatus checking
in smsd source code and always try to download new sms from phone. But I
don't know if phone will like frequent downloading. Maybe downloading from
empty folder is as quick as checking for SMSStatus and SMSStatus is then
completly unnecessary, I don't know. If you try this let me know.

Of course there is a better way to do it. The Siemens M35 terminal (and
maybe other phones) is capable to inform software when new sms arrived.
But this is not implemented in AT driver now. I have in personal TODO to do
it but I'm very short with time so if somebody hack AT driver in this way I
will be happy. :)
