Hi all,

I'm working on a technical validation for a Mobility project.
My customer has to make a choice between a XDA II and a Pocket Loox
with a GPRS card.

I have a XDA II but i'm looking for informations about how SMS
messages are reveived throught a GPRS card. Are they handled by a
specific application or by the Inbox program ?

I think there is no SMS folder in Inbox program ...

Thanks for your help !

Johann

On the XDA II you have Sms support integrated into the OS and Inbox
application. You can capture incoming SMS messages using the IMailRuleClient
interface.
When using an external GPRS card you will have to implement something based
on the specific card. You can probably use standard GSM codes over a virtual
serial port to the GPRS card which will allow you to check for, read and
delete messages. Or the card manufacturer may provide their own software
interface possibly with an SDK.
