#include “adl\_global.h”

```
const u16 wm_apmCustomStackSize = 1024*3;
bool SMS_AUTO_Handler(ascii *SmsTel, ascii *SmsTimeLength, ascii *SmsText);
void SMS_AUTO_ctrl_Handler(u8 Event, u16 nb);
void envoi_sms(u8 ID, void * Context);

```

char Bufferdebug[200];  
char Buffer[300];

```
s32 sms_automaton_Handle_txt;

bool SMS_AUTO_Handler(ascii *SmsTel, ascii *SmsTimeLength, ascii *SmsText)
{
	adl_atSendResponse(1, " IN SMS data handler");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\nSMS Phone Number: ");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, SmsTel);
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\n");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\nSMS Time: ");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, SmsTimeLength);
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\n");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\nSMS Text: ");
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, SmsText);
	//wm_strcpy(Buffer,SmsText);
	adl_atSendResponse(ADL_AT_RSP, "\r\n");
	return TRUE;
}

void SMS_AUTO_ctrl_Handler(u8 Event, u16 nb)
{

	return ;

}

void envoi_sms(u8 ID, void * Context)
{
   static int compte = 0;
   int a;
 
   wm_sprintf ( Buffer, "Sms n°%d: \r\n", compte );
   a = adl_smsSend(sms_automaton_Handle_txt, "recepient number", Buffer, ADL_SMS_MODE_TEXT);
   wm_sprintf ( Buffer," smsSend = %d: \r\n", a );
    printf("Value: %s",Buffer);
   adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, Bufferdebug );
}

void adl_main ( adl_InitType_e InitType )
{
    adl_atSendResponse( 1, "Embedded : Appli Init" );
    adl_atSendResponse ( ADL_AT_UNS, "\r\nApp Begin\r\n" );
    sms_automaton_Handle_txt = adl_smsSubscribe(SMS_AUTO_Handler, SMS_AUTO_ctrl_Handler, ADL_SMS_MODE_TEXT);
    adl_tmrSubscribe ( TRUE, 100, ADL_TMR_TYPE_100MS, envoi_sms );
}

You haven’t checked any of the API call return values!

No, the code you posted does not have any checks whatsoever on any API return values!

If you have some other code that does check the return values, what do those values tell you?

It’s not the order of subscribing that matters; it’s properly handling the events that’s important - and, in particular, not doing anything that requires the SIM before the SIM is ready!
