There is no direct support for that. However this http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/SMS_Utilities_API exists.

Thanks wizard_hu_:
i have used the code from the linlk that u have provided me. it is successfully listening first SMS but after that it is not listen any more sms, can any body tell me me,
i have used the code mentioned below.

void SocketListen()
{
_LIT(KTag, "1");
TBuf8<2> matchTag;
matchTag.Copy(KTag);

//Opens a socket by creating a new subsession to the socket server.
TInt err = iSocket.Open(iSocketServer, KSMSAddrFamily, KSockDatagram, KSMSDatagramProtocol);
if(err==KErrNone)
{
TRequestStatus iStatus;
TSmsAddr smsaddr;
// App. listens for sms msgs with some special tag in it.
smsaddr.SetSmsAddrFamily(ESmsAddrMatchText);
smsaddr.SetTextMatch(matchTag);
TInt BindErr = iSocket.Bind(smsaddr);
if(BindErr == KErrNone)
{
iPckgBuf() = KSockSelectRead;
//Applies an asynchronous I/O control operation on a socket.
iSocket.Ioctl( KIOctlSelect,iStatus, &iPckgBuf, KSOLSocket);
SetActive();
iRead=ETrue;
}
}
}


void RunL()
{
if(iRead)
{
TRequestStatus iStatus;


CSmsBuffer *smsBuffer = CSmsBuffer::NewL();
CleanupStack::PushL(smsBuffer);
//Stream that reads a CSmsMessage object across a socket.
RSmsSocketReadStream readStream(iSocket);
//Allocates and creates a CSmsMessage
//ESmsDeliver-SMS-DELIVER, sent from service center to Mobile Station.
iSmsMessage = CSmsMessage::NewL(iFs,CSmsPDU::ESmsDeliver,smsBuffer);
//Internalises data from stream to CSmsMessage
iSmsMessage->InternalizeL(readStream);
readStream.Close();
//Extracting the received message to a buffer
iSmsMessage->Buffer().Extract(iBuf,0,iSmsMessage->Buffer().Length());
iSocket.Ioctl( KIoctlReadMessageSucceeded,iStatus, &iPckgBuf, KSolSmsProv);
//Printing the received Message.
CAknInformationNote* note122=new(ELeave) CAknInformationNote;
note122->ExecuteLD(iBuf);
iBuf.Zero();
iRead=EFalse;
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(smsBuffer);
SetActive();
}

}



Thanks in advance, plz reply as early as possible

I guess for your case, you can monitor the message store for any folder (inbox/outbox/sent) state change and retreive the message details. There is some Messaging example code on forum...YOu can search and try....

[niyaz.khan]

One example is there in EMCC soft application for s60 MSgObserver u can refer that one which is suitable for you.

[Asif Nazir]

Thanks for reply

i have successfully track incoming sms through sockets having specific text in it but when i restart my set all messages that i have tracked will arrived 1 b 1 in the inbox how can i delete them from message store at the time of tracking.

Thanks Dushyant Gaur,
Your example worked perfect for me.

[yahoo2010]

t will be so kind of u if u can spare some time in helping me in my code.
i want to develop a application for N97 which could read incomming sms before it reaches inbox and i can perfom a spam check on it thn move it to inbox folder. i have searched over internt and i found out that it is possible through socckets.... there is code available about sockets on nokia forum... but its not working.... i m not even sure about that code even it will work on Qt creator or not. cuz i m using qt creator for development.


it will be very nice of u, if u provide any help

[kiran10182]

If you are developing for Symbian C++ then you should use Carbide.c++ IDE. Yes, It is possible to read the messages before they move into Inbox. Check this Wiki article: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/SMS_Operations

By the way, which Wiki article you were referring which you say does not work? How does it not work?

[yahoo2010]

hey kiran thanx for reply...
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/SMS_Utilities_API
i downloaded the file named silentsms.zip on this link but i dnt knw i dont know how to run it on QT creator cuz ther isnt any .pro file which is supposed to be a project file to work on qt creator....

[kiran10182]

As said, you should develop for Symbian C++ with Carbide.c++ IDE. You can download it free from here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/Library/T...r/Carbide.c++/

can i get ur email address, i may be needing a lot of help in future..
