Increase the SMS limit in Android (100 SMS per hour to unlimited)

No Comments »

 

Make sure you got rooted phone.

  • Install Android SDK (for basic command line tools, such as ADB)
  • Add Android tools to the PATH
  • Turned on USB debugging on Phone
  •  Connect with USB Cable, USB Drivers must be installed (with SDK etc)

Open Command Terminal and enter the following:

adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Then you’ll see:

sqlite>

Then enter the following to alter the limit

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);

(change 101 to your new limit)

I didnt try altering the limit so I hope it works for you guys.. but I can confirm this next one works. It completely turns off the limit altogether.

To turn off the limit enter:

INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);
