I don't have the MSDN code handy but the type of sms is dictated by the
Class specified in the TextProviderSpecificOptions structure. If not
specified it will send as Class0 which will result in immediate display, a
normal SMS is Class1

this is the site to download the app:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetco
mp/html/netcfsendsms.asp
(i am using vb.net)

however i am not very sure how to set the Class1 in the
TextProviderSpecificOptions structure..
as i do not know the CLASS1 need to be set to what value so as to send
as a normal SMS..

In the example the provider data is not used - this is the byte array
ProvData. Therefore you should be able to force a class 1 sms by placing the
integer value 1 in the second 4 bytes of this structure. e.g.
BitConverter.GetBytes(1).CopyTo(ProvData, 4)
after the definition of ProvData

bravo
thanks..
it works...

by the way this is my scenario of my project:

at server side(desktop PC):
actually i had done a program using java(using Kvanttisms API
[http://hee.tranquilized.org/school/kvanttisofta/] ), that is able to
send and receive SMS via a COM port that is connected to a GSM
phone(Nokia 7110)..it has a GUI that can enter the contents to be sent
as a SMS and also display the contents of the incoming sms..

client side(xdaII):
downloaded the SendSMS from msdn,deployed into the xdaII..
able to send SMS..
n had also use your method to disable the flash sms..

new problem:
my java app is unable to read the coded SMS from the xdaII..
it seems to read only PDU mode..
do not have e knowledge to change to TEXT mode..

i had try changing the codes in SmsTerminal.java file in the Kvanttisms
API from PDU mode(from 0) to text mode(to 1), but it still cant work..

need to know how to program to TEXT mode...

hi,
anyway, i can be flexible..
is it possible to code the msdn SendSMS app to send in PDU mode?
as "SMS_MSGTYPE_TEXT" indicates it is a text message
i need some help or ref..
i am rushing for a project..
any help will be greatly appreciated..
