I searched around and couldn't find the exact answer to this specific question. Is there anyway to make the iPhone "listen" for a text message. I don't need to know anything about the text message or who its from, just that one came. Also, if possible to listen for a sent text message too.

Thanks,
Switz

there is a notification sound that plays when a message comes in, is that what you mean?
 
The OP wants to fire an event when a message comes in. Nothing to do with sound 🙂
 
I mean within the code. I want the code to "listen" for an SMS. The only trouble I see is that apps can't run in the background, but maybe something will work??

Well not necessarily have something happen, but I want an application to be able to know its happened and something in that application happen. I feel like what I said before might stop this though.

Oh yeah, my mistake 🙂
 
You can't get any kind of information about text messages. Only thing you can do is create a new message using the sms:// URL, and even that is undocumented 🙂

What if I wanted to be able to count the total amount of texts, there is no way of doing that through the SDK?
