I want to write j2me application using WMA so that when i send sms using this application and if the receiving device has the same application running the sms will not appear in inbox.

In simple words
1) How can I prevent SMS from entering into device Inbox using WMA or any other method???
2) Is there any way to delete SMS from Device inbox in J2ME

Hi,

1.) Your J2ME application registers to listen for messages that are sent to a specific port number on the mobile phone. Any messages addressed to that port number are routed to your application instead of the built-in SMS client inbox. JSR-205 (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr205/) is the relevant specification that covers the API support from J2ME on the mobile device.

You'll find more information about using NowSMS to send an SMS message to a specific destination port in the following article: http://blog.nowsms.com/2007/06/send-sms-to-java-appmidlet.html

Regarding question #2 ... some devices might offer this capability, however this is not a capability defined in JSR-205. The standard type of SMS messaging support available to a J2ME application is to process only messages that are specfically addressed to the application.
