SMS/MMS support

The S60 emulator SMS/MMS support enables 3rd party application to test applications using SMS/MMS APIs in the emulator. This speeds up development of messaging-based applications in a cost-efficient way.

SMS/MMS support in the S60 emulator is based on file based sending and reception:

Sending an SMS/MMS: The emulator writes the sent message to a directory specified for SMS/MMS sending. Any external application interested in the message can read it from the specified directory.

Note: The message will remain in the directory if not removed.
Receiving an SMS/MMS: To receive an SMS/MMS, move the message to the specified directory for SMS/MMS reception. The emulator reads the message from the specified location and shows the message in the Inbox of the emulator.

Note: You can also copy example SMS/MMS messages to the Inbox folder of the emulator with the Messaging events of the Utilities > Events. See Simulating messaging events.

The table below describes the directories and prefixes used for sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages in the emulator.
