AT+CMGL problem

[lkwan2001]

How can I get the message of unread messages only?

I have tried AT+CMGL=0, but it just show "OK" without unread message shown.


Thanks.

I dont think all devices support the AT commands for reading messages, for instance my 6630 can send sms, but I cannot read or receive an incoming SMS using AT commands

I can read the unread message. But need to set AT+CPMS="ME" first. Then AT+CMGL=0 can show out the unread message.

However, sometimes it doesnt work. Sometimes need to set AT+CPMS="SM" then AT+CMGL=0 can show the unread message.

I dont knwo when to set "ME", when to set "SM". So unstable...
Help..

Arent "ME" and "SM" phone memory and SIM? Maybe you set it to SIM when the default storage for SMS is set to SIM(if thats possible) and vice versa. Or maybe you can only read it from SIM, if it has been manually saved to SIM by user. I am not sure, because as I stated on the 6630, I could not get change to memory locations.

if you type AT+CMGL=? it is supposed to return storage locations? On my device, it returns ("","","")

At least you have it partially working! Very good for you!

Do you have documents on it, i found several online, if you want me to forward them to you.

Thank you Jason.

I use Java to get the SMS by AT command.
And I have used a loop to run both "ME" and "SM" so that if "ME" get nothing, it would turn to "SM".
For document, I got AT command for nokia. what other document do you have?

Thank you.

I just found a few other documents online, relating to sending AT commands to mobile phone modems, they all basically reiterated what was in Nokias.

I are you trying to get your app out to as many devices as possible? If yes, be carefull and fully test, because if you search the forums, people have had issues with devices not responding to the commands, or in my case(6630) responding, but incapable of allowing me access to the stored/received messages.
