Remote Manager Raw SMS messaging

In addition to Remote Manager-formatted messages, you can send an SMS message without Remote Manager modifying it. This method is referred to as “raw SMS messaging”. This type of messaging is useful when you want to use every byte of the SMS message (the Remote Manager protocol takes approximately 5 bytes per message of overhead), or when you use a device that doesn't have Remote Manager protocol support but does have SMS support.

Raw messages are not modified by Remote Manager and are subject to the restrictions of the SMS messaging interface. SMS raw messages are subject to the limitations of standard SMS messages:

• They are a maximum of 160 characters.
• The supported characters are dependent on your carrier, but are characters only (not binary).
• Delivery of these characters is not guaranteed and the characters could be delivered more than once.
• The delivered characters are not guaranteed to be correct (they are subject to corruption).
