The destination of the message.pstValidityPeriod
The duration for which the SMS message is valid, counted from when the SMSC receives the message. This can be NULL. This is not interpreted as a normal SYSTEMTIME structure.

The data portion of the message. This can be NULL.dwDataSize
Size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by pbData. This can be zero.pbProviderSpecificData
For certain providers, a provider-specific structure must be provided in addition to the previous data buffer.dwProviderSpecificDataSize
Size of pbProviderSpecificData.smsdeDataEncoding
The text encoding of the SMS message, if appropriate. SMSDE_OPTIMAL is the recommended value. See the SMS_DATA_ENCODING enumeration for possible values.dwOptions
Optional flags.Value Description SMS_OPTION_DELIVERY_NONE No special options SMS_OPTION_DELIVERY_NO_RETRY Unless this option is specified, the router will retry sending the SMS message according to a pre-defined short-term retry schedule. If this option is specified, no retries will be attempted. psmsmidMessageID
