Intiating Application by sending SMS

[krsunil]

I am new to Brew Development. I have read in the document that a Brew applicaiton can be initiated by sending a SMS message with class ID in it. Can anyone tell me how to send such a SMS message. Is there a specific format that specifies the class ID in the SMS message?

Thanks

Sunil.

Because I'm lazy, I'll cut and paste from the BREW's SDK User's Guide (page 39). Hope this helps.

Directed SMS messages

BREW’s application-directed SMS mechanism, commonly used to support the transmission of simple SMS text messages, leverages CMT-95 (teleservice ID 4099) messages. In the case of BREW, these messages have a special format that allows them to be identified and dispatched to BREW applications. The format is:

//BREW:Class ID:Text Payload

Where:
• Class ID is the hex representation of the AEECLSID (BREW AEE ClassID) used to identify the target application for the message.
• Text Payload is the ASCII text payload of the message. BREW does not interpret the text payload.

NOTE: If the SMS messages received do not use this format, they cannot launch BREW applications. They can, however, be viewed using an SMS messaging application.
