SMS with TBird?

Post by wisgro »

Used Tbird to send text from my laptop to an iphone. The text was received in full on the iphone but when a text response was sent from the iphone to my laptop I got the usual alert in the message notification window but the text window was blank. The sender confirmed that he sent a brief text in response. Does Tbird require an add-on or particular setting to received sms?

I recently received what I suspect was a SMS sent from a iPhone. It showed up as a email message with a blank message body. That was due to the Content-Type: header being set to multipart/mixed; type="application/smil"; and the actual plain text message being stored in an attachment (which was also not visible). The From: address was the phone number with a @vzwpix.com domain

All of the SMS add-ons that I'm aware of are for sending SMS messages, not receiving them.
