Mobian MMS/SMS text problem

[HLing]

I was wondering if some of them are from emoji's. Thanks to your advice I was able to get texts working.

I have wondered about whether they were emojis, but  then I  have actually received emojis since but still not able to get mms. Most of  the time  I have  people  admitting  sending me  pictures as attachment and with the date and time (I have to add 3 hours) we can figure out who sent what.   At one point,  I learned that group texts are also considered MMS.

I use King's Cross:

Code:

sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-list-sms 

        to see how many messages i have (the reason i use "any" is because the number changes.)

type in password when prompted. Then a list shows.  For example, mine showed just now:
      /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/53 (sent)
      /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/52 (unknown)
      /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/50 (receiving)
I know sent is my sent message , no need to check. To see the content of the message 50 i issue:

Code:

sudo mmcli -s 50

and in this case it my sister who texted me.

to delete it I issue:

Code:

sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-delete-sms=50

I then get a confirmation:  successfully deleted SMS from modem

This does not delete it from Chatty. I can see it there still.

I hope this helps.  I haven't used  Modem Manager since early on because it was a  bit klunky at the time. In King's Cross, tap the key to the right of spacebar one could get the function page and  can use the up,down arrows to toggle through the commands used and so won't have to retype and could just plug in the number.
I did have up to 6 or 7 MMS  once that I deleted and then regular sms started to come in. (would still love to see those  mystery mms as well as finding out the sender, but I have not been diligent in following the work-around methods.

Hope this help!
