Action available for the following operating systems:

![](/files/-MK_g-HxGIeZHNXEHeoI)

### Parameters

* **Number** *\<string> -* The phone number that the user wants to send a text message.
* **Report** *\<unquoetd string> -* Defines if the user wants to receive a delivery report or not. This parameter is only used in Windows Mobile/CE.
* **Text** *\<string> -* The text message that the user wants to send.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Because of October 2018 Google Policy Change, Designer will no longer automatically activate the Send\_SMS permission for Android, and in this case Kalipso will use an Intent to send the SMS. You can still manually force this permission when generating the APK, and in this case, if the permission is active, Kalipso will use the previous SMS method that sends the SMS without showing the window for the user to confirm.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.sysdevmobile.com/kalipso5/developing/form/actions/actions-description/group-communications/sms-send-message.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
