I tried adding a *0# to my SMS and i didnt receive any confirmation ..
I particularly interested in knowing the frame encoding thats done to
send a SMS. What are the control words that are sent along with an
SMS, etc. What does one need to do if a standard is to be proposed. Is
it like IETF where a draft is submitted, or is it something else.
Any pointers to the appropriate mailing list?
