// register Sms Listener to get SMS callbacks
SmsReceiver.getInstance().registerListeners(
function () {
// onSMSReceiverStarted
...
}.bind(this),
function (exception) {
// onSMSReceiverFailed
...
}.bind(this),
function (message) {
// onSMSReceived
...
// handle sms here
...

// deregister Sms Listener to avoid invalid operations
SmsReceiver.getInstance().deregisterListeners();
}.bind(this),

Construct a verification message

The verification message that you will send to the user's device. This message must:

  • Be no longer than 140 bytes
  • Begin with the prefix <#>
  • Contain a one-time code that the client sends back to your server to complete the verification flow (see Generating a one-time code)
  • End with an 11-character hash string that identifies your app (see Computing your app's hash string)

Otherwise, the contents of the verification message can be whatever you choose. It is helpful to create a message from which you can easily extract the one-time code later on. For example, a valid verification message might look like the following:

<#> Your ExampleApp code is: 123ABC78
FA+9qCX9VSu

Generating 11-character hash string for your app

After instantiating SMSReceiver access hash string using:

SmsReceiver.getInstance().getHashString() // After instantiating SmsReceiver othersise it returns empty string

Request for phone number saved in your device

SmsReceiver.getInstance().requestForPhoneNumber((phoneNumber) => {
// phoneNumber is null if no number is selected.
...
})
