SMS from JAVA App

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a Personal Java App for XDA which can read,send SMS and can read CBS. I look through web for help and could find some SMS APIs but not really helpful. Is there a way in JAVA to do that and do I need to have some contract with O2 ( service provider) or some knowledge of internals of XDA like RIL.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dhiraj

I have implemented a JNI API for SMS: attached is the code for XDA II

Hi Dhiraj
I read yr SMS from Java App
I wonder if u could write a small app which could pick out a phone number contained in an sms. I receive sms from various sources with cell phone numbers in them and i need to respond to them with my postal address. I wonder if i could find an app which could send an sms to the number contained in an sms.
for eg.
new sms from :
shailes<+91-12345-85995>
content as below
"
Dear Al please call dhiraj on +91-98123-47485 and discuss the sms thread and send a quote and yr address"
<end of message>
Action
SEND An sms to DHIRAJ with predefined message
Most application filters can only read and will reply to sender
for eg. MAGICALL will send SHAILES a predefined message or the incoming text message
I need the program to read the phone number inside the text message and reply to it.
Any help

SMS Group Sending App

Hi guys im fairly new to this site but was hoping somebody could help me out. I actually work in the wireless industry and I constantly need to send text messages to multiple people at the same time. Is there an app or plugin that would allow me to make sms groups instead of having to add recepients one by one? thanks in advance , sheemy

i would like to also
i have searched in this issue many times but i did not find any solution, i come over this issue by using jeyo mobile extendor, that enables me to send and receive sms from my pc using outlook, so i view the contacts by group and select all contancts in the group and from outlook i press the buttom of send sms.
but i do not think this will help you cause you are working in a wirless enviroment as you mentioned. i will be happy if we find another solution.

how can we find out which email address is mapped to SMS?

I'm told that every device supporting SMS has an email address that can receive txt messages. Something like : [email protected]
I'm on Tmobile, and would like to know that email. Could a guru lead me in the right direction?

I myself used T-mobile Mobile email. Basically this is a service that when people email your address you receive it as a text message. From my experience of this service you are charged 10p for every text received and this is not part of any allowances you may have. It usually only send you one sms of the first few words from the email.
I assume this is what you mean, see the link below for official details of the service...

In my opinion its to be used wisely and the address given to only inportant people who cant text you via a mobile phone.

Thank you for your reply. Sadly this does not seem to work very well. I had it working yesterday but today no matter how many emails I sent my phone never receives the SMS.
This is really disapointing as I'm using it to monitor the status of servers.

hi.
not familiar with t-mobile but I guess all operators are somewhat similar.
I use vodafone and the email address is connected to a standard mailbox which is reachable through a web browser. in order for the incomming mails to generate a sms I had to activate it in the same portal, I was also able to create rules on which mail that should be forwarded as an sms.
hope this helped.

Try something like this:
[email protected]
k

nope, no luck, it's very strange, that email to sms feature was working yesterday night, and today nothing.

Get the web'n'walk add-on, an account with mail2web and the AKU2 rom to enable push email. Then just email your mail2web address instead of your phone number, if a server has a problem then remotely administer it from your MDA PRO using terminal services.

Thanks for all the responses so far. I thought I'd give you a small update. Yesterday I was testing this further. My phone was receiving SMSes from other networks immediately, but none of the [email protected] made it through.
Then this morning, I received 28 text messages in one go. All at the same time.
Obviously the routing they use for the [email protected] mobile email option is cheap and unreliable.
So I've bought a few credits of an email2sms gateway, will let you know if that performs better.
Shuflie, regarding the AKU2 account, I got push email from 4smartphone - but I was under the impression that required the GPRS/3G connection to be always on on the phone? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

Right here's the follow up as promised.
I ended up signing for sms2email. I didn't know what to expect but it turns out to be very reliable. They deliver sms super super fast, which is what I need for server monitoring.
Seems convenient, and you can use distribution lists for SMSs, meaning you don't have to create dozen of account in your monitoring software just for the purpose of ringing everyone. Apparently you can also SMS BT lines, which in turn will read the message text-to-speech if the recipient doesn't have an SMS-compatible handset.

Hi
Probably the easiest way to do it is with an app called Power SMS by Trinket Software. It's an app you need to pay for but it does other things such as scheduling SMS's and producing reports. If you just wish to send an SMS to specific groups you can use a program call GroupSMS this is freeware. You have to set the groups up in outlook on your PC but it's free and works for me.
Hope this has helped

such tasks usually come on common hollidays to me, i.e. known dates. so i use my laptop for multi-sms from home. i use efficasoft mobile express.

With groupsms, you can also select individual contacts by checking the box, not necessary to create groups. you can find the program here
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/

all i do is in the "To:" coloumn when writing a SMS, i write out the contacts name and it will show their number at the bottem of the screen as you type and select the contact. then i start to write the next contact name and select them and so on. hope this helps
