Order = ""
For i = 0 To Zeile.Size - 1
   Order = Order & Zeile.Get(i)

If (chbSMS.Checked = True) Then
   If (Msgbox2("Bestellung senden","Bestellung", "ok", "", "Abbruch", Null) = DialogResponse.POSITIVE) Then

Assumption: the string could be too long for an sms.

This has arisen before http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...-sms-send-limit-159-characters.html#post45513. Android does not split a long SMS into individual messages for you. It just errors if you give it too many characters.

@All:
Thanks for the help.

I 've now changed my code so I list the length of the SMS message, and if the message is too long, put on a meaningful two news SMS splitting.

Order = ""
For i = 0 To Zeile.Size - 1
   Order = Order & Zeile.Get(i) & CRLF
   If (i = 1) Then
      factor = Order.Length
   End If
Next
If (chbSMS.Checked = True) Then
   If (Order.Length > 159) Then
      txt = "Ihre Daten in der SMS sind grösser als 160 Zeichen." & CRLF & _
              "Es werden zwei Bestell-SMS gesendet. Bestellung trotdem senden?"
   Else
      txt = "Bestellung senden?"
   End If
   If (Msgbox2(txt, "Bestellung", "ok", "", "Abbruch", Null) = DialogResponse.POSITIVE) Then
      If (Order.Length > 159) Then
         SMS1 = Order.SubString2(0, factor - 1)
         SMS2 = Order.SubString2(factor, Order.Length - 1)
         Sms.Send("+4916096682220", SMS1)
         Sms.Send("+4916096682220", SMS2)
      Else
         Sms.Send("+4916096682220", Order)
      End If      
      Global.GotoTheWeb(4)
   End If
Else
   ' eMail
End If

Greetings.

The SMS are limited in what the size is concerned. This limitation corresponds to 160 characters if you do not use special characters such as ñ, ó, á, etc ... and 60 if you use these characters. This is due to the type of encoding used.

Normally all operators admit more characters but must say that the message is multipart so that the operator will split into several messages. Other solution is to control yourself and be yourself in subdividing many messages as needed.

I hope it is helpful ..

P.S. The sorry for my English.
