how can I address a SMS to a particular SIM application?

for example: I want to a SMS to go to the address book, to get a random name, and to display it.

I know that this should be easy, and I have to define something in the UDH, but I don't know what.

Please help.

thanks

Are you writing the application, or are you attempting to interface with a built-in application?

If you are writing an application, then the following thread might be helpful to you:

If you are trying to interface with the existing address book application in the phone, then some phones allow you to send a vCard to the phone via SMS, but there is not a universal standard for the format of this SMS (and it is not supported by all phones).

Here are some past discussion threads that talk about vCards:
