Hi,

In J2ME why cant a SMS Handler MIDlet receive messages sent by handsets
where NO PORT NUMBER is specified?

Using PUSH REGISTRY, can we register a MIDlet such that it handles SMS
sent with No Port Number specified?

Is there some way by which My SMSHandler MIDlet can Supercede/Overrule
the Default Viewer? Is there any way by which I can give it the writes
to do so?

Can a normal handset specify a Port Number somehow?
Is there any workaround at all?? Is there any solution?

Security. Any old MIDlet's not supposed to be able to access any/every
SMS message on the handset.

No.

MIDlets can only receive messages sent to the port for which it's
registered. And those messages have to be deliberately sent to that port
by the originator. AFAIK ther eis no way to specify the port from the
default message creator on a handset.
