Android Question PhoneSMS does not work

[hatzisn]

I am not able to send an sms with PhoneSMS library. My android version is 4.2.2.
My code runs from a service module. This is my code:

Sub SendSMS()
  
    Dim pSMS As PhoneSms
    Dim cur As Cursor = Main.conn.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM [00_AppOptions]")
    cur.Position = 0
    Dim sSMS As String
    ts.SetLanguage("en", "US")
    ts.Speak("Entered in Send SMS event.", False)
    sSMS = cur.GetString("SMSToSend")
    cur = Main.conn.ExecQuery("SELECT PhoneNumber FROM [01_NumbersForSMS]")
    cur.Position = 0
    Dim ii As Int
    Dim jj As Int
    Dim sNumber As String
    For ii = 0 To cur.RowCount - 1
        Dim sNumber2 As String
        cur.Position = ii
        sNumber = cur.GetString("PhoneNumber")
        sNumber2 = ""
        For jj = 0 To sNumber.Length - 1
            sNumber2 = sNumber2 & sNumber.CharAt(jj) & " "
        Next
        ts.Speak("Sending to " & sNumber2, False)
      
        pSMS.Send(sNumber, sSMS & " - " & sCoords)
    Next
    cur.Close
    Dim sp As SoundPool
    sp.Initialize(1)
    Dim iID As Int
    iID = sp.Load(File.DirAssets, "strings2.mp3")
    sp.Play(iID,1,1,100,1,2)
  
End Sub

It speaks all the TTS commands, it does not hung but it does not play either the mp3.
Are there any problems running the code in a service? The SMS never reaches each destination so I suppose I do not send it. The variable sCoords is defined in Process_Globals and gets its value from another sub. Any ideas?

There should be no problem running code from a service.
Check the required permissions (Logs panel \ List permissions : android.permission.SEND_SMS)
Check the length of the SMS message (160 chars for ASCII, 70 chars for UTF-8)
Don't bomb the SMS : insert a delay or wait till the SmsDelivered event is fired to send the next one (PhoneEvents)
About the TTS : it should be initialized globally as it takes some times to be ready

Strange but I found a solution. When there is even a short message in Greek (6 chars) it does not send the SMS. If the message is in English it is send. What could be the problem?

Try to send it with SendLargeSMS: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/max-length-of-sms-message.20006/#post-115689
