Firefox OS/Comms/Dialer/WAP-Push

This is mostly unrelated to the dialer but may still be nice to know.

Gabriele is the best person to contact for issues here.

• Delivers special messages over SMS
• Normally from carrier
• Can contain links, configuration messages, full text documents with APN, configuration for data connectivity, etc.
• Handled by Gecko as system messages
• Originally were going to go into Messages app
• Now a separate app, closes itself when messages are processed
• Apps can't close themselves, so hacks needed to work around this
• Lots of vendor-specific stuff
• Sent using special software from vendors called NowSMS, we don't have access to this
• Race: receive and process a message, then signal to close the app, then receive a message before app closed gets into a weird state
