NCID-PAGE(1)NCID-PAGE(1)NAMEncid-pageSYNOPSIS
ncid --no-gui --program ncid-pageDESCRIPTION
The ncid-page output module sends the Caller ID or message to a cell
phone, pager, or any other email address. It can have multiple email
addresses
The module always sends the information as soon as the Caller ID is
received.
The ncid client can be configured in ncid.conf to wait until a spe‐
cific number of rings before sending the Caller ID to a module when
using a modem that indicates RING, or it can send the Caller ID if the
call was unanswered or at the completion of the call when using a SIP
gateway.
The module requires PageTo in ncid-page.conf to be set to the SMS gate‐
way for your cell phone carrier.
List of SMS gateways:

CONFIGURATION
The ncid-page output module is configured in ncid-page.conf.
PageTypes This sets the NCID message types ncid-page will send. The
different types are CID, OUT, HUP, BLK, WID, MSG, PID, and
NOT.
Default: PageTypes="CID MSG"
PageTo Must be set to either the SMS gateway for your cell phone
carrier or an email address.
Default: PageTypes=""
PageFrom This variable has no effect unless root runns ncid-page. If
set, it allows root to run ncid-page as another user.

PageMail This variable sets the mail program to use in sending NCID
messages.

PageOpt This variable, if set provides a Subject line for sending
email.

PageOpt="NMBR" calling number subject line
PageOpt="NAME" calling name subject line
PageOpt="NONA" calling number and name subject line
PageOpt="NANO" calling name and number subject line
Default: PageOpt=""
REQUIREMENTS
mailx Can be another mail program with an optional subject line
MTA See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_transfer_agent
Suggest a simple MTA like exim to send and receive mail.
The sendmail MTA is very good but hard to configure.
Use a SMTP program like SSMTP if only need to send mail.
You can use ssmtp or exim to handle mail on the Raspberry Pi.

To use google for outgoing mail, you need 2-step verification:

EXAMPLES
If you want to call a module ona certain ring count, you need to con‐
figure the module to set ring in the ncid.conf file.
The ncid-page module requires the PageTo variable to be set. The ncid-
notify module requires either a key variable to be set to a API key or
a key file that contains the API key key file
