Managing the different types of numbers

Two types of numbers can be used to send SMS messages:
  • Short numbers (also called "National" numbers). These numbers can be accessed from the country only.
  • Standard numbers (also called "International" numbers). These numbers can be accessed from anywhere.

Differences between GO mode and runtime

In GO mode (simulation on the development computer), a WLanguage error occurs during the call to an SMS function or when using a variable of the SMS structure.
Android

Android specific features

  • Only SMS messages found in the phone memory can be handled by the SMS functions.
