2. SMS Quick Start – Storage
The purpose of this section is to help get you start with SMS storage

2.1 Set preferred message storage

Select memory storages <mem1>, <mem2> and <mem3> to be used for reading, writing, etc.
These values will be saved after the module restarts
<mem1>
String type, memory from which messages are read and deleted (commands List Messages
AT+CMGL, Read Message AT+CMGR and Delete Message AT+CMGD).
“ME” and “MT” FLASH message storage
“SM” SIM message storage
“SR” Status report storage
<mem2>
String type, memory to which writing and sending operations are made (commands Send Message
from Storage AT+CMSS and Write Message to Memory AT+CMGW).
“ME” and “MT” FLASH message storage
“SM” SIM message storage
“SR” Status report storage
<mem3>
String type, memory to which received SMS is preferred to be stored (unless forwarded directly to
TE; refer command New Message Indications AT+CNMI).
“ME” FLASH message storage
“SM” SIM message storage

AT+CPMS="SR","ME","SM"

3. Read SMS

3.1 List SMS messages from preferred store

This command is used to return messages with status value <stat> from message storage <mem1>
to the TE. If the status of the message is 'received unread', the status in the storage changes to
'received read'.

AT+CMGL="ALL"
+CMGL: 1,"STO UNSENT","+10011",,,145,4

SIM5360 SMS Application Note

Hello World
OK

3.2 Read message

This command is used to return message with location value <index> from message storage
<mem1> to the TE.

AT+CMGR=1
+CMGR: "STO UNSENT","+10011",,145,17,0,0,167,"+8613800100500",145,4
Hello World
OK

3.3 Delete SMS

This command is used to delete message from preferred message storage <mem1> location
<index>. If <delflag> is present and not set to 0 then the ME shall ignore <index> and follow the
rules for <delflag> shown below.

AT+CMGD=1
OK

3.4 Write message to memory

AT+CMGW="13012832788" <CR> (TEXT MODE)

ABCD<ctrl-Z/ESC>
+CMGW:1
OK

4. Edit/Send SMS

4.1 Send message from Scratch

send message from a TE to the network (SMS-SUBMIT).:

AT+CMGS="13012832788"<CR>(TEXT MODE)

network (SMS-SUBMIT or SMS-COMMAND).:

AT+CMSS=3
+CMSS: 0
OK
AT+CMSS=3,"13012345678"
+CMSS: 55
OK

5. Receive SMS

5.1 New message indications to TE

AT+CNMI command is used to select the procedure how receiving of new messages from the
network is indicated to the TE when TE is active, e.g. DTR signal is ON. If TE is inactive (e.g.
DTR signal is OFF). If set <mt>＝2, <mt>＝3 or <ds>＝1, make sure <mode>＝1, otherwise it
will return error.
These values will be saved after the module restarts

<mode>
0 – Buffer unsolicited result codes in the TA. If TA result code buffer is full, indications
can be buffered in some other place or the oldest indications may be discarded and replaced
with the new received indications.
1 – Discard indication and reject new received message unsolicited result codes when
TA-TE link is reserved (e.g. in on-line data mode). Otherwise forward them directly
to the TE.
2 – Buffer unsolicited result codes in the TA when TA-TE link is reserved (e.g. in on-line
data mode) and flush them to the TE after reservation. Otherwise forward them
directly to the TE.
<mt>
The rules for storing received SMS depend on its data coding scheme, preferred memory storage

(AT+CPMS) setting and this value:

0 – No SMS-DELIVER indications are routed to the TE.
1 – If SMS-DELIVER is stored into ME/TA, indication of the memory location is routed
to the TE using unsolicited result code: +CMTI: <mem3>,<index>.
2 – SMS-DELIVERs (except class 2 messages and messages in the message waiting
indication group (store message)) are routed directly to the TE using unsolicited
result code:
+CMT:[<alpha>],<length><CR><LF><pdu> (PDU mode enabled); or
+CMT:<oa>,[<alpha>],<scts>[,<tooa>,<fo>,<pid>,<dcs>,<sca>,<tosca>,<length>]
<CR> <LF><data>
(text mode enabled, about parameters in italics, refer command Show Text Mode
Parameters AT+CSDH).
3 – Class 3 SMS-DELIVERs are routed directly to TE using unsolicited result codes
defined in <mt>=2. Messages of other data coding schemes result in indication as
defined in <mt>=1.
<bm>
The rules for storing received CBMs depend on its data coding scheme, the setting of Select CBM
Types (AT+CSCB) and this value:
0 – No CBM indications are routed to the TE.
2 – New CBMs are routed directly to the TE using unsolicited result code:
+CBM: <length><CR><LF><pdu> (PDU mode enabled); or
+CBM: <sn>,<mid>,<dcs>,<page>,<pages><CR><LF><data> (text mode enabled)
<ds>
0 – No SMS-STATUS-REPORTs are routed to the TE.
1 – SMS-STATUS-REPORTs are routed to the TE using unsolicited result code:
+CDS: <length><CR><LF><pdu> (PDU mode enabled); or
+CDS: <fo>,<mr>,[<ra>],[<tora>],<scts>,<dt>,<st> (text mode enabled)
2 – If SMS-STATUS-REPORT is stored into ME/TA, indication of the memory location is
routed to the TE using unsolicited result code: +CDSI: <mem3>,<index>.
<bfr>
0 – TA buffer of unsolicited result codes defined within this command is flushed to the TE
when <mode> 1 to 3 is entered (OK response shall be given before flushing the codes).
1 – TA buffer of unsolicited result codes defined within this command is cleared when
<mode> 1 to 3 is entered.
