As far as
I've seen, the built in APIs for getting at SMS data aren't very
helpful. Different carriers install different SMS software on each
phone, and they vary between devices as well. I've had to reverse
engineer a number of different SMS database formats for my application,
and I'm only targeting the Treo 650 right now.
If anyone has had a better experience, I'd also be interested in
hearing about it.
Cheers,
Gary

hi
on treo650 i need to detect how many sms messages are in inbox
when i use PhoneLib api to open database with sms messages for me (PhnLibGetDBRef) it opens database "SMS Messages2" of type DATA and creator SMS2 which is always empty
i already found that messages are in fact stored in database called "Messages Database" with type MsDb and creator MsSt.
is there any 'correct' way to get this information or must i open this database i found myself? i already found that there is a lot of records and not all of them are sms messages so i don't know how to get correct number from there. is this format documented somewhere?
i also tried to use approach which was recommended for mail and sms messages (to use pmNotifyGetNewMsgCountFromHelper), it works for mail, i can't test it for mms at the moment, but for sms it returns always 0 so again no luck here
i will be glad for any hint, because i am stuck with this... thanks in advance
