Overview

Due to platform security on S60 3rd Edition, all messaging settings have been moved into the Central Repository data storage. This transition led to the deprecation of the old SMS settings API (that is, using CSmsSettings store/restore functions). Using these deprecated methods can lead into KErrGsmSMSUnspecifiedProtocolError, KErrGsmSMSInvalidMandatoryInformation errors when sending an SMS message on a S60 3rd Edition device.

TInt CFW3MsgEngine::SetSMSCL()
    {
    TInt err = 0;
    // CSmsHeader encapsulates data specific for sms messages,
    // like service center number and options for sending.
    CSmsHeader& header = iMtm->SmsHeader();
    CSmsSettings* settings = CSmsSettings::NewL();
    CleanupStack::PushL(settings);
    CSmsNumber* sc = CSmsNumber::NewL(); //CSmsNumber* sc = 0;
    CleanupStack::PushL(sc);
    //--------- SMSC & header set-up
    settings->CopyL(iMtm->ServiceSettings()); // restore existing settings
        // set send options
    settings->SetDelivery(ESmsDeliveryImmediately);      // set to be delivered immediately
    header.SetSmsSettingsL(*settings);
        // Set SMSC address
if (header.Message().ServiceCenterAddress().Length() == 0)
        {
        // No smsc set. We assume there is at least one sc number defined and use
        // the default SC number.
        CSmsSettings* serviceSettings = &(iMtm->ServiceSettings());
        // if number of scaddresses in the list is null
        if (!serviceSettings->ServiceCenterCount()) // New messaging API uses new methods

                    sc->SetAddressL((serviceSettings->GetServiceCenter(serviceSettings->DefaultServiceCenter())).Address()); // New messaging API uses new methods
                    header.Message().SetServiceCenterAddressL(sc->Address());
