What exactly are you trying to accomplish by sending this text file? In other words, what do you want the receiving client to do with the received text file? SMS doesn't support any concept of "attachments". You could send a WAP Push message with a URL link to an attachment that can be downloaded from a server. (Or you could send a text SMS with that same server link, and many phones would allow the user to fetch that link.) But that doesn't sound like a solution for your application. Depending upon what you're trying to do, and how much text, maybe sending a long text message (concatenated text message, allowing you to send multiple SMS messages that are recombined at the receiving end, so that you can break the 160 character limit) would do the trick? I don't know what the considerations are for doing that in J2ME ... but note that many devices cannot handle concatenated SMS with more than 5 parts ... and you can get 153 characters max per part in a concatenated message (7 character overhead in each part). -bn | |||
