Table 6-5. SMS Print Command Field Definitions
Field Name Description
INDEX: This field is a unique 32-bit value
(expressed in Hex) given to each SMS
message stored. It allows the SMS
messages to be sorted according to their
arrival time and not their time stamp. See
the TIME field for a description of the
issues around time stamps.
NOTE: Although the INDEX field is unique
for SMS messages currently stored (it is
initialized to a value one greater than the
highest index currently stored), it can be
repeated.
Example: When the highest indexed SMS
message is erased and the phone is
immediately reset, then that index will be
used again.
NEW: The field indicates whether this message is
a newly arrived (<NEW:YES>) message or
one that has been previously read
(<NEW:NO>). A message is marked read
(<NEW:NO>) after the $QCSMP command is
issued.
LOCKED: This field indicates that the user has set
the LOCK flag of the SMS message (See
SMS Lock ($QCSMSL) on page 6-56 for
details). The LOCK flag prevents a
previously read message (<NEW:NO>) from
being “autodeleted” from internal storage.
Autodeletion is a mechanism by which old
SMS messages are deleted without user
intervention, when the SMS storage
memory is full, to make room for a newly
arrived message.
NOTE: Locked messages (<LOCKED:YES>)
can be manually deleted, by the user,
without first unlocking the message
(<LOCKED:NO>).
NUMBER: This field is a sender- and application-
specific “call back” phone number.
