Receive API – Polling Mode
Receive API polling mode has two commands. The querycount? command and the recvmsg? command.
querycount?
The query count command is used to determine the number of unread SMS messages in the MultiModem iSMS receive
queue.
recvmsg?
The receive message command is used to retrieve the unread SMS messages from the receive queue.
Once a message is retrieved (read), it cannot be read again. A record of the SMS is kept in the SMS Services Inbox.
Receive API Polling Mode Query Format
The format of the command can be as an HTTP/1.1 Get or in a product-specific, raw TCP protocol as shown below.
