Mobiledit feature & V3

The FAQ at Cingular doesn't seem to address this question, or at least I have
not found the part that does. There is a lot of discussion about sending text
messages with or without pictures, but what I want to do is to send a text
message directly to the recipient's handset's screen- text only - so the
recipient (my wife) doesn't have to "open" the new message. It will be
displayed instantaneously. Mobiledit can be used to do this, but I'd like to
know how to do it from my own handset.

Thanks in advance...

>

I see now that you gave me a link to a yahoo site describing a "flash"
message. Thanks you and sorry I missed that the first time around.
Curiously, when I follow those instructions, whether composing from a handset
or from MOBILedit, it doesn't work.

It continues to work if I use MOBILedit to compose a message and then check the
"to display" box before transmitting. So there would appear to be some other
method than the "flash" instructions given in the link you provided.

When the message appears on my V3 screen, it is called a "Quicknote msg".

Have you any more ideas about this?

Thanks again for your replies.

I sent you a reference to "Flash SMS" because that it what you are trying to
send. For more information, "Google is your friend":

p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread -- it's
confusing, and considered a bit rude. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply, and my apologies for the posting gaffe. Now I know
better about the protocol.

I'm feeling quite dumb about this flash SMS business. In short, I can send a
message directly to the screen of my V3 if I use MOBILedit on my PC.
But I cannot figure out how to compose the same message successfully on my
handset. The "flash" instructions I've found so far don't work, so I'm
trying to figure out what MOBILedit embeds in its messages when the option is
selected. I'm pretty adept at following instructions and reasonably tech
literate, so I don't think this is a case of user error. Some detail that I
haven't yet discovered....

All help most welcome.

And thanks again for your reply.

Just Me

[POSTED TO alt.cellular.motorola - REPLY ON USENET PLEASE]

Message class settings are specified as part of the "DCS" (Data Coding Scheme)
value when a message is submitted by the Mobile Device. For the official
definition of DCS values, see the ETSI GSM 03.38 specification (available for
download from http://www.etsi.org). "Flash SMS" is DCS Class 0, a value of
hex 10. I don't believe you can set the DCS class with the regular messaging
in the V3 -- you'd probably need a Java applet. For example, see:
* PanuWorld FLASHMSG
<http://www.panuworld.net/nuukiaworld/download/flashmsg/help/index.htm>
* VJSMSSender Class 0 SMS v1.0
<http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/vjsmssenderclass0sms.shtml>
* Alert SMS
