Send Message +Cmgs - Multitech CDMA Wireless Modem Reference Manual

Send Message +CMGS

Description: The <da> field is the address of the terminal to which the message is sent. To send the text
message, type <ctrl-Z> (0x1A) as the final character of the message. This command can be
aborted using the <ESC> (0x1B) character while entering the message text.
The <length> parameter is optional, it is used to set the length of the text string. When
<length> is specified, the CMGS command will only process the number of bytes specified
by <length> regardless of whether it contains <ctrl-Z>, <ESC>, or <backspace> characters.
The parameters <priority> and <cbn> are optional. When not specified, they default as
follows:
Priority: 0 (Normal)
Call back number: Not included in the message.
Values: <da> : Destination address value in string format.
<length> : Length of the text message (in bytes).
<priority>: Message priority:
0 – Normal
1 – Interactive
2 – Urgent
3 – Emergency
<cbn>: Call Back Number
Note: If the "FD" facility is enabled, only the <da> entries in the FDN phonebook can be
sent.
