The Gecko API for Mobile Messaging
The SMS application uses several API from Gecko. Especially it uses the API for Mobile Messaging, which allows to send and receive SMS and MMS.
On this wiki, several pages show the design behind the API: WebAPI/WebSMS and WebAPI/WebMMS. They're probably somewhat obsolete noawadays but they will provide useful information about some design.
MDN has also a good documentation about this API. It's also lagging a bit but is more uptodate.
Finally, the most current information is given by the IDL files in the gecko tree (and some part is in a separate place).
