How to send silent (ping) and flash SMS

Silent SMS (also known as Ping SMS) is a message sent to another cellphone without informing the owner of the respective phone. You will get back the confirmation that the message was sent but no information will be delivered to the recipient. It can be used to check if the recipient phone is switched on.witched on

Flash SMS is a message which appears directly on the screen of the recipient phone and which is not saved after reading it.

To send these types of messages from a PC, myPhoneExplorer application can be used (I have talked about this software in a previous post).

If you need to send them from a Pocket PC you might wanna try HushSMS application.

For Symbian S60 series you can try this application via symbian weblog (probably no support for Ping SMS).
