Well you can't register to listen to SMSes, that hook just doesn't exist. So if you rely on proving who someone is by sending something to a specific phone (ie making use of the telephone companys vast network ability to locate one device with that particular SIM card in it at that point in tim

You should look into the push notification API, it ends up being very similar to SMS (e.g. small payloads) and is directly developer accessible. ->Ben -- Ben Lachman Acacia Tree Software http://acaciatreesoftware.com email: blach...@mac.com twitter: @benlachman mobile: 740.590.0009 On Ju

I have been there before, for a mobile banking project, and they don't want to accept my suggestion to process all of the sms processing (incoming / outgoing) on the server, in order for the iPhone app to communicate with server only. That would provide better user experience, because there's no n

@ Jesse: Yes the idea is to distribute the App through the AppStore, so I guess I can't go any deeper. The idea is that in the server there is gonna be a sms application that will send the Authorization code to the registered iPhone that is asking for it, then My app should take that acce

The sms: URL on the iPhone only supports phone number, unless if you're willing to go deep into the private API, but you couldn't distribute your app into the App Store. My advice is, better to install some kind of sms application or gateway on your server, so your iPhone app could send the text i

If you're trying to use data which has been sms'ed to your user, which is something I've thought about doing before, the only way which I thought it could be done is to register your own url for the application and then have the sms you send include the data in a URL format, eg if your app regi

Aha ok.. thanks. I need to develop an iPhone app that fetches sms data form the sender, the data are access keys, so I was wondering if tis possible to do such an application. I was reading the iPhone App programing Guide, and there is something interesting, I can register my app with so
