MOBITEK MobiGATE

MOBITEK SMS API version 9 (beta)

New function in Modem class:-

  • Modem.GetMSISDN()

To get the Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number (MSISDN). MSISDN is the telephone number of the SIM card in a mobile/cellular phone. MSISDN is stored in the SIM card. Some SIM card does not store it, and therefore will return empty string.

  •  Modem.GetIMSI()

To get the International Mobile Subscriber Identify. IMSI is stored in the SIM card. IMSI is used for identifying the user of a cellular network and it is a unique number.

New function in USSD class:-

  • USSD.USSDListen()

This function call will listen for USSD prompt from the network operator and capture it. While listening, no other funtions are allowed to be called, it will stop upon time-out (default is 3 seconds). If USSDListen() is not called, any USSD prompt is sent by network operator, then it will not be captured. If USSDListen() is called after USSD prompt is sent by network operator, then it will not be captured.
