I'm trying to send messages from a server kind computer to mobiles via USSD. So for the very first step I need to know what is required for me to send the message as USSD push based.
Thanks.

I have a studio flow that receives chat messages (from Whatsapp) and forward the conversation to Flex.
I'm trying to send a SMS notification to a hard-coded number as this happen.
The issue is that the SMS is never sent and the Send Message widget fails with the following log:
Failure sending message: Chat service or channel parameter missing
I understand that it's probably because the flow has a Chat context and that the widget expects a Chat Service. But I want to send a SMS.
I tried to configure the Send Message widget like this:
SEND MESSAGE FROM and SEND MESSAGE TO set and all other config fields empty
SEND MESSAGE FROM and SEND MESSAGE TO and PROGRAMMABLE CHAT SERVICE with a Messaging Service ID (which doesn't really make sense but hey...)
Neither worked.
How can I send a SMS from a Chat flow in Studio?
I was just able to knock up a quick Studio Flow that receives messages from WhatsApp and sends out an SMS to a hard-coded number and it worked for me. The way I did it was to hard code both the Send message from and Send message to numbers in the Messaging & chat config section of the Send Message widget, like this:
In this case you must ensure that the Send message from number is a Twilio number that is able to send SMS messages.
I am working on chat application. Whenever someone send me a message I receive a push notification with text "A send a message to you".But sometimes I receive push with text "You have 4 new messages".(4 is the variable number). Server team claims that they are not sending this type of message.Just wanted to know if apple customize the message in any case.
No, Apple doesn't do that.
It has to be your server developers or some third party library they are using to send Push Notifications.
I am developing an iOS messaging app that uses Twilio to send and receive SMS and MMS. The tutorial on Twilio about the iOS client seems to only cover outgoing and incoming calls. I understand that sending an SMS/MMS would mean that I send a HTTP request to my server, in which my server sends the request to Twilio in order to complete the sending. However, how would I receive messages on my app?
I know that Twilio numbers have web hooks that execute when the number receives this message, but how would I get this message to my app. I don't believe that there are delegate methods included like the voice ones. The only solution that I could think of right now would be to use push notifications from my server to the phone. Is there any other possible way? Thanks.
I was recently in a similar situation to yours, but my app only cares about receiving a response within a 2 minute window while the app is opened.
Regardless, I would say that your best options include 1) push notifications, 2) sockets (probably via Socket.io), or 3) background polling. If you plan to have your application receive the message agnostic of its state (open, closed, etc), then I would highly suggest using push notifications. I'm using Parse as my Twilio backend and it makes creating and working with push notifications a breeze :)
I want to send and receive text messages without showing MFMessageViewController from my application. Could anybody tell me how is it possible?
Not Possible , Unless you use 3rd party api for send/received sms.
you have to use Web service and Apple Push Notification Service for send message to other user without using MFMessageComposeViewController
You can't do it without MFMessageComposeViewController. Apple won't allow to send SMS without user interaction.
I've alternate solution of this, out of scope of iOS. Use web service API. Create a web service at server side that send a message to specific number(s) that accept numbers as parameters with request.
At specific time interval (according to your requirement) send a web service call with number as request parameter.
Web server can do it. It can send message to any device.
Would it be possible for me to implement a client that is capable of receiving IMAP push messages, without the awareness of the user (i.e. they are not displayed in an inbox etc.)
Yes. You can create a job (corn) to check for emails every few often and send a push message (apns) to the user (using your app) with the email message attached as body.
