SMS default port

[ononokung]

I have a problem about Receiving SMS . My midlet try to receive SMS that send from SMSC but it cann't ,it always go to inbox, Which port should i open for recieving SMS ? or it has another solution to solve this problem ? T T

Your MIDlet cannot receive messages sent to the default port. It can only receive messages sent to a specific port.

So how can i receive sms from SMSC,coz i won't know what port that SMSC will send to my application.... ><

[johnbutler]

What is SMSC? That is the problem with designing your own apps to use SMS. You basically have to program both sides of the communication yourself to use a specific port number.

SMSC is short msg centre. My app try to receive sms from operater and will check that message . i'm very confuse - - "

[johnbutler]

Have I answered your question? What are you confused about?

[ononokung]

i confuse about how can i order the operator to send sms to me with my specific port T_T


Thank You

[johnbutler]

I don't think you can. Unless you write an application / service to send SMS messages to a specific port, they will always go to the default port (which your MIDlet will not have access to). If you have input / control over the operator you might be able to change they application they use to send the SMS to send it to a specific port.

1.i don't understand that you said "Unless you write an application / service to send SMS messages to a specific port, they will always go to the default port" .if i specific service to send SMS port why they will go to default port.
2. You mean if i know server (sending sms)port ,i will listen to sms before it go to inbox. right?

(^^) thank you

Hi,

As john Says, you can not Register a java application on the "default" SMS port.

you can however register a java application to recieve SMS messages that are sent to a specific port.

you can then send your messages to the specific port you have registerd your application on, by setting the port in the UDH ( User Data Header ) of a binary SMS.

you can send a binary SMS using a GSM modem, or if you have an SMPP conncetion to your carriers SMSC ( provided they dont block the port) or if you have an SMS agrigator that allows sending of binary messages

Hope this helps

I use the simplewire sdk. How can I encode the detination port as part of the header (UDH) of my binary message?

I try sending SMS to my a number through my netowrk but it seems my network is resend the sms to the default port on the GSM.

How do I hardcode the destination port into my simplewire sdk without the network operator changin the destination port
