messagingtoolkit features and constraints?

Added by admin over 4 years ago

I would like to inquire your MessagingToolkit if up to how many characters it can send to a mobile device.

Based on my testing using a demo of your library, it can only send up to 2000 characters, is that correct?

Regards,

Hi,

See here

https://www.fortytwo.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-concatenated-sms/

Depending on your handset, you can see anything up to 255 concatenated SMS
in a single series. Much depends on the capabilities of the phones in
question and the network. Some mobile networks allow the full range of
concatenated SMS while others will limit the number of messages you can
send at once. This is to both preserve network traffic and prevent bill
shock.

I just want to know and confirm if MessagingToolkit has limit in receiving and sending SMS messages.

As mentioned, there is no limit in the library but your mobile network and
handset will have the limit.

Another question... by default the SIM received the messages.

I would like to know how to transfer the SIM messages to Phone device using MessagingToolkit.

Hi,

You can set the MessageStorage property to phone to default the storage to
the device.

Another question... :)

How to intelligently and automatically select the COM port for the GSM modem?

RE: messagingtoolkit features and constraints? - Added by admin over 4 years ago

Get a list of the com ports. Spawn a thread for each port and send a At command to check.

When retrieving messages, why do I received this exception?

Exception: Exception caught: 'MessagingToolkit.Core.GatewayException' in MessagingToolkit.Core.dll ("Unsupported feature: GetMessageFeature: Retrieve messages from the gateway (Error in sending command AT+CMGL=4 :)"). Exception caught: 'MessagingToolkit.Core.GatewayException' in MessagingToolkit.Core.dll ("Unsupported feature: GetMessageFeature: Retrieve messages from the gateway (Error in sending command AT+CMGL=4 :)"

Hi

Check the log files to see if your device supports receiving. Read the device manual to understand the capabilities.

You can also attach your source code and log here so that we can take a look
