I want to use SMS to notify my app instead of push notification.

I am referring to http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Use-SMS-to-notify-an-application/ta-p/444965... for the solution and it looks like very much possible easily but I have no idea, how to configure an SMS at server end.

By reading the suggested article, I came to know that I need to edit the header properties of a message before sending it. But I am using the SMS gateway API to send SMS from server and I couldn't found any API which allows to edit the header. I am using http://www.intellisms.co.uk/ gateway API. Can anyone suggest any API which allows header editing? The API should be able to send SMS in Nigeria.

Thank You.

Is there anybody who can shed some light on to this?

I am in a hurry to implement this.

sorry, no experience with this, and i don't know anybody who has.

you can intercept "normal" sms messages as well as far as i know, maybe you use some key wording in the title or body to identify them.

Hi - from what I remember form using SMPP, there is not much you can customize header wise in a SMS message. simon_hain's suggestion of some special keyword in the SMS is probably your best best.

Thank You guys for your reply but I need to block that SMS from getting saved into inbox.

Is there any alternate way to delete the SMS from inbox after identifying it?

Thanks

Hm, shooting from the hip here, but have you looked at the SMS listener demo (you should be able to import it in Eclipse without much issue).

You can intercept SMS messages with that, BUT I'm not sure if you can delete them (CAN do it with email though).

One of the gotcha's however is that only one app can listen on that port (the SMS port) at a time (IF I remember correctly).

The link you provided above is unfortunately giving an error, so I can see what they did there (so sorry if I'm repeating stuff)

I found this API https://bulksms.vsms.net/docs/eapi/submission/send_sms/#protocol_id

It allows to send data coding & protocol id as optional parameters, which i actually need. But I am not sure what value should I pass.

Is there anyone from BlackBerry who can help me here? I want to implement
