    <p>I wish to setup a telephone number confirming system within my app, pretty much like whatsapp does i.e. it sends you a PIN, it arrives on the android device and that proves you are the owner of the device (telephone number).</p> <p>Is this possible to fake an sms via code from myself to myself so that i cannot pickup the Pin, again via to code, without any intervention from the user?</p> <p>I looked at some Reverse billing systems, but i couldn't find any that worked in all countries and of course this requires that the receiver pays for the sms. </p> <p>What are my best options here? </p> <p>And how would this work via the emulator?</p> <p>I would really appreciate any feedback here.</p> <p>This is my first step :-) I would also like to do this in iOS as well. But thats in the future.</p> <p>Am i on the right track here? or should i be looking at an alternative solution or maybe reverse billing?</p> <p>Look forward to any help</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Here is an explanation with more detail of what i am trying to do..</p> <p>My app requires the user to enter his/her phone number, i need to confirm that this phone number is a truthful one so i would like to send an SMS to the Phone Number / Device.</p> <p>This is basically exactly what happens with whatsapp, you enter your phone number and they send you a PIN.</p> <p>Its the process that i am not sure of, and if its at all possible without reverse billing services.</p> <p>I need to send a message to the device, i could do it via a server (web service) but i would end up paying for the SMS to the device.</p> <p>So was hoping there was some sort of trick where from within code i send an sms to the actually save device .. once it arrives i can pickup the PIN and check it against a db on my server, if its valid... that i can confirm that this user does "Really" ahve this phone number</p> <p>I hope i have explained that a little better.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
