I sent a flash message from computer using a TC65 gsm/gprs modem to a Sony Ericsson F305 and to my surprise the phone asked if I wanted to save the message.
Standards are not followed by all!!!.
Regards
Franco
P.S. Most phones does not let you save the message!!!.

Typo:
The command to find out which of the modes are supported by your GSM modem is ‘AT+CMGF=?’.
Not ‘AT+GSMF=?’.

Thanks for your helpful site!!

Russel,

A regular SMS message is stored in the recipient phone (or SIM) and the phone indicates a new message has arrived with an SMS icon. A flash message is different in 2 ways: first it is displayed directly on the recipients phone, second (and this depends on how it was sent) it may not be stored so that when you dismiss the message it is gone.

very helpful! I tried it on a Siemens TC65 gsm modem and it works. One note: I think you have misspelling error: it should be AT+CMGS and not AT+CNGS
Hope this helps!
