Hi, Thanks alot for the clarifications. I have understood the flow now as far as SMSLib and PDU is concerned in relation to reading text to and from the modem/phone.
Let me have a look at the docs you have recommended. Thanks At what point fore instance in the ReadMessages can I invoke the deleteMessage() method? Can I place it somewhere above this code? msgList = new ArrayList<InboundMessage>(); this.srv.readMessages(msgList, MessageClasses.ALL); for (InboundMessage msg : msgList) System.out.println(msg); thanks, On 12/10/08, Thanasis <[email protected]> wrote: > > > You can delete messages using the deleteMessage() method. > > About PDU: > PDU stands for Protocol Data Unit. > SMSLib converts text messages to (and from) the PDU format. > > Take a look at this documentation: > http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.040/ > > > On Dec 10, 4:03 pm, "mutumba wycliff" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks. > > > > >The example read them all.
