how can a phone ID be retrieved from SMS

[nkn_motoko]

Is it possible to get the sender's phone number from an SMS message? If so, is it located in the header? Where???

Thanks

You can use the below information for getting the sender address for messages sent by GDSMS, we haven't tried with other applications.

TMsvEntry msvEntry = (iSession->GetEntryL(aEntryId))->Entry();

msvEntry.iDetails; // this gives the number

Create the MTM for SMS(KUidMsgTypeSMS), switch to the required entry. Cast the MTM to the CSmsClientMtm class and call the RestoreServiceAndSettingsL() function, then get the SMS header using the SmsHeader() function. The SMS header contains the sender address. You can retrieve it using the FromAddress() function.

To use the CSmsClientMtm and the CSmsHeader classes include the smsclnt.h and the smuthdr.h files.

And what .lib must i link to use CSmsClientMtm ?

Unfortunately CSmsHeader can't be used in current SDK version. It is unavailable due to other headers withdrawn from the SDK.

msvEntry.iDetails contains the name of the message. It might be the phonenumber but if there is a ContactCard for it, "iDetails" contains the name of the card. Is there a way to get the phonenumber?

thanks
