[05/27/08] HushSMS - A "Silent" SMS Tool [Version v0.6beta]

HushSMS is a tool to sent a class zero message (aka Flash-SMS) or a stealthy PING message to another cellphone.

The "Silent Ping" enables you to sent a message to another cellphone without the owner getting knowledge about.

The message is discarded on the owners phone and no trace exists. You will get back a message from the operator that your message has been delivered, proving that your message has been received, and thus you can know that the owners phone is switched on.

This is not some kind of hack or whatever. It's a normal function per standard and works on any phone.

Q: Why such a software? A: I regulary need it in my job. Sometimes I have to be sure a specific phone is switched on and I can send information to that phone without it beeing stored (class zero message).

It runs on Windows Mobile 5 and 6 based PocketPCs.

EDIT: A word of warning: If you send a class zero message to a windows mobile device, your number will not be shown. Instead of the senders number, windows mobile will show something like "Network Message".

So in general this tool could be used in a manner it is not intended and designed for. So be responsible!

Usage

-----

Copy the CAB file to your device and double click it.

The program is installed to \Program Files\HushSMS\HushSMS.exe.

There are three functions:

Send a normal SMS

Send a class zero message (Flash-SMS)

Send a stealthy message

- To send a normal sms, leave the checkboxes for "Class 0" and PING unchecked. If you want a receipt enable the "Return Confirmation" checkbox.

- To send a class zero message enable the "Class 0" checkbox and write your message.

- To send a silent PING just enable the "PING" checkbox. There is no need to write something in the Textbox, because the target phone will discard it anyway.

If you enter the number manually you have to enter it in international format (for example starting with +49... for germany).

You can alternately choose the number from your address-book but it has to be in international format also.

The program will pop-up a message box to notify you about the success or failure of the sending process. This message box

might be under an overlaying window if you have other programs open (a file explorer for example).

That's it. Enjoy it, as always it's freeware.

EDIT: v0.2

Download @: http://www.silentservices.de/HushSMS-0.2.CAB

EDIT: v0.3 beta 08.04.2008

See post #87: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2098699&postcount=87

EDIT: v0.3 beta4 15.04.2008

Changes:

- Smartphone UI

- Added PING2 message option

- Added notification bubble (for PPC only)

- Program now quits after message is sent

- small general improvements

As for the PING2 function: I added this for all the people whose provider will automatically transform Type0 messages to normal SMS. This function uses a different method for sending a "silent ping" which should enable all users to send those messages, even on US carriers. The principle is pretty simple: I'm sending a MWI deactivation, which is not shown to the user, and request a status report. If you receive the status report, you known that the "pinged" phone is active.

See Post #103

EDIT: v0.6beta 27.05.2008

New features:

- Additional MWI Messages (except for voice MWI, most of them will not work on windows obile based target phones)

- Added WAP-Push SI (service indication) and WAP-Push SL (service load messages)

See Post #124

This program doesn't seem to work on US-Carriers (except with the new beta4 which enables another method for the "silent ping")

Edit: I've tested the program on the german eplus network, and found out that class0 messages, as well as type0 (The Ping) are converted to normal messages by the SMSC of eplus.

However, it is working as expected on vodafone.de
