In this article we describe a way to receive SMS messages in a managed application without the SMS message appearing in the Inbox and without showing a bubble notification when the SMS message arrives. The sample code will run on a Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition device. With small modifications, mainly in the MMI part, it should run on a Smartphone 2003 as well.

The good folk at MSDN have compiled a report titled, Receiving SMS Messages Inside a Managed Application which may be of interest to Pocket PC Phone Edition and Smartphone developers out there. On the whole, it shows promising signs for being able to bypass the entire Inbox phase, and being able to process SMS messages in a separately-managed client application. Given the fact that the article is based on .NET Compact Framework technologies stemming from Version 1, we may see better integration in Version 2. An interesting read for all developers. ;)
