SMS Guide: 4 Receiving an SMS Message

There are two ways the Nokia 9000i Communicator may receive an SMS message: standard, or targeted.

As a developer, you do not need to concern yourself with standard messages since a "standard" message is handled by the Nokia 9000i Communicator's built-in SMS application. This application handles standard messages that are either sent without an SMS prefix or that are sent specifically to the SM Receive application.

Targeted messages are those messages sent using the twelve character prefix. These messages may not necessarily be sent using another Nokia 9000i Communicator; any device that uses the correct SMS prefix can contact a specific application if it so desires. In any case, the twelve character prefix (containing the GeodeToken ) will specify the application that is meant to receive the message.
