Apple just releases Yosemite which allow us to send sms message (via phone) using SMS Relay (Continuity). Does anyone know how to write applescript to send sms message. (I know that we can use applescript to send imessage).
One more question that, can we use applescript to get list of message rooms or messages in a room from Message app.

I am writing an app that will facilitate the sending and receiving of SMS messages via a web application. I would like to allow for multiple recipients (not bulk, just a few recipients at most).
I understand that in order to send to multiple recipients, I have to make multiple API calls, and that is fine. The problem I am having is receiving text messages via the Webhook callback. If the SMS was sent to multiple recipients, I cannot see the other recipients in the callback, just myself as the recipient.
Because of this, I have no idea whether this message was intended for just me, or for other recipients as well. This is a problem, because I would like to show threaded conversations similar to Google hangouts, or the SMS applications on all Andorid and iPhones.
I cannot figure out a way to track conversations, if I can't tell if a received message was sent to just me, or a group of recipients. Any suggestions? I do not yes use Twilio on a production server, so if this is not possible to do using Twilio, but is possible using another service, that would be an option for me as well.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Twilio doesn't fully support group messaging the way that you are used to it when using a phone. That actually relies on MMS under the hood to keep the members of the group chat synced up.
Where you make multiple API calls to send messages to each user, that is manifested as just a single message with no group attached. Thus, any reply to that message comes solely from that person you sent the message to. There is no group at all at this point.
The link that Alex shared in the comments is the closest way you can get group messaging to work. It relies on everyone messaging one Twilio number and the application behind it fanning the messages out to all the recipients. The blog post also comes with some handy subscribe/unsubscribe administration for the group.
I'm developing a winform program in which, I need send and receiving SMS messages, I have no problem in sending SMS, but i don't know how to inform when a new message has been received in a gsm modem? I wanna have an acknowledgement like an interrupt or event, when a new message has been received. As far as I know i should work to at+CNMI or at+CNMA, but unfortunately i cant find an example for those.Furthermore I wanna know how to get delivery message or how to handle that? Thanks in advance.
Depends on device type you are using. Use AT+CNMI=? to see all possible options your device supports.
I've read auto sms is not possible, if you send a SMS through an app you need user interaction like pressing a button.
But if my phone shows up at a particular position based on gps and a stored record that has that gps info, would that not be the user interaction I need and the sms just get sent?
From the code I've seen if button pressed run this code and send SMS.
What I'd be doing basically is
If I arrive at this location send SMS. From my view this is not exactly Auto SMS, its sms based on certain variables but without user interaction.
Is this possible, am I making any sense lol
As a workaround, you could use one of the SMS services available to send a SMS. If you would like a free solution, you can use the carrier email-sms to send a SMS. You just have to send an email at this point in your code.
Please tell me is there any API for knowing the incoming sms status, outgoing sms status, reading sms status, delete sms status in Windows Phone 7?
By 'status', in this context, I assume you mean you want to handle these events from your app? No, in the current SDK, you can't get access to the user's text messages. You can set up and text message, but there's currently no way to interact directly with existing messages or handling incoming/outgoing events.
In Windows Phone 7 sms delivery reports are present in kernel, however they are not customizable. You get an sms delivery report as another sms message. But everyone knows that sms delivery report is not an sms - it's an attribute of a sent message.
iPhone has an app called iPhoneDelivery which allows to customize the way the delivery reports are presented to a user. It allows the best approach - as an icon of an envelope to an already sent sms message. Same applies to Android.
Is it possible to create such an application for Windows Phone 7 at this time? Does the WP7 SDK allow "messing" with internal sms application?
The current API provides no way to access previously sent SMS messages; so attributes such as delivery reports cannot be queried. The only access to SMS right now is the SmsComposeTask but even this requires the user to hit the send button, so an app cannot automatically send text messages.
