Hello,
This code is only appropriate for 1.0-tp. The QMessageServiceAction class is not in 1.0 and higher. Consider
int main(int argc, char** argv) { QCoreApplication consoleApplication(argc,argv); QMessage testMessage; testMessage.setType(QMessage::Sms); testMessage.setParentAccountId(QMessageAccount::defaultAccount(QMessage::Sms)); testMessage.setTo(QMessageAddress(QMessageAddress::Phone,"1234567890")); testMessage.setBody("Hello there from test program"); QMessageService testService; bool result = testService.send(testMessage); std::cout << "Send message result " << (result ? "Ok" : "Failed") << std::endl; return result ? 0 : 1; }an example from qt mobility bug 64 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTMOBILITY-64
