Receiving SMS Messages

When receiving an SMS message, what is contained in the sms_message_id POST variable?

I have an app that will send a text and solicit a response (i.e. Type X to Confirm).

When that message response comes in is there any way to tie it to the original message that was sent out?

Hi John,

When you receive an SMS message, the sms_message_id is simply a unique identifier. It is not related to the initial outbound SMS you sent. To tie it to the original outbound message, you should use the sender's phone number.
