I am developing a Java Application, that sends an SMS. I just wanted to know the Port No. used by the different Handset Manufacturers. For example Nokia uses Port 50000. wanted the Port No. for Samsung, Motorola, LG and Chinese Handsets. Thanks. | |||

Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question. The port number should be of your choosing, unless I am not understanding your question. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi, Thanks for your response. Just tried to explain my problem. When we send a message through the Java Midlet, it basically goes through a Port, as a kind of URL. Now as far as I can understand, there are restrictions on different Ports, and their usage for different purposes. For example, the Port No. mentioned by Nokia is 50000, from all Nokai devices I am able to send SMS. When i try the same application on a Samsung Mobile, everything works fine, but the Message does not go. I have tried my hands on a Sony Ericsson, I am able to send the SMS. However, I am unable to send a message from Samsung, LG and Motorola, Fly and other chinese handsets. I wanted to know which port no. will be suitable to use on these handsets to be able to send the message through my Java Application. Thanks | |||

Hi, For sending SMS, I don't think the port number matters. 50000 is just frequently used in examples. The port number becomes important if you need to receive SMS messages in your application, because you can only receive them if they have been addressed to the port number that you are listening on. JSR-120 explains that the following ports are restricted:
Maybe there is some other problem on the other hones. Verify that you can send SMS from the built-in SMS client in the phone. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
