Android SMS limit?

Does anybody know what is the limit of sent SMS messages at once? Or it is limited hourly or daily? I have Nexus 4 (4.4.4 KitKat). I am developing app that sends SMS messages so it is really important to me. I've found a lot of information but it seems none of it is correctly...

Thanks!

In CM11,

  1. Open your Root Explorer.
  2. Go in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ Open settings.db your SQL editor
  3. Open the database ‘Global’
  4. Press the Menu button> New Record / New Table
  5. As set name: sms_outgoing_check_max_count
  6. As value (value) type the maximum number of sms you want, personally I put 2000

Some limit was introduced not later than Gingerbread. As far as I know, and I investigated thoroughly, it is generally impossible to override these limits on non-rooted devices. If possible, those are rare exceptions. But, if your app is supposed to send messages from your device only or from controlled number of devices, you may get around this problem by setting SMS_OUTGOING_CHECK_MAX_COUNT to a huge number (say 99999) in:

  • /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
    1. table secure
    2. table system
  • /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
    1. table main

According to the creator of this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamf.smslimittool.donate&hl=en, the limit, since 4.4.1, is 30 messages in 30 minutes.

It also notes that the limit is present to safeguard against malicous programs, so setting it very high is potentially a bad idea.

I dont think it has got anything to do with Android. In India, it is governed by TRAI Regulations for SMS.

And the limit varies based on whether it is transactional SMS, promotional SMS or personal SMS
