# textsecure-cli
-textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for [libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java). It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. However receiving messages currently doesn't work, because libtextsecure-java [does not yet support registering for the websocket support](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java/pull/5). For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS.
-It is primarily intented to be used on servers to notify admins of important events.

However receiving messages currently only works with a patched libtextsecure-java, because libtextsecure-java [does not yet support registering for the websocket support](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java/pull/5). For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS or incoming calls.
