A Class 0 SMS displayed immediately on the recipient screen without being stored in the inbox unless manually saved.
Why Flash SMS Matters
A normal SMS waits in the inbox until opened. Flash SMS interrupts and displays on screen immediately, which is why it gets used for time-sensitive alerts, network outage notices, emergency broadcasts, where the message needs to be seen right away rather than discovered later in a notification list.
How Flash SMS Works
The message is submitted with the GSM data coding scheme (DCS) byte set to Class 0. Compliant handsets render it as an immediate on-screen popup instead of routing it to the inbox; the recipient can choose to save it, but by default it disappears once dismissed.
How SMPPCenter Uses This
SMPPCenter supports sending Class 0 Flash SMS as a message-type option alongside standard SMS, for the specific cases where on-screen interruption is the point rather than a stored, revisitable message.
