This API is available on Firefox OS for internal applications only.
Summary
The getSegmentInfoForText method is used to get the information necessary to create a multi-part SMS for a given text.
Note: Starting with Firefox OS 1.2, this method has become asychronous and will return a DOMRequest object instead of a direct MozSmsSegmentInfo object.
Syntax
var segments = navigator.mozMobileMessage.getSegmentInfoForText(text);
Parameters
text- A string representing the text to send as a potential multi-part SMS.
Return
Before Firefox OS 1.2: A MozSmsSegmentInfo object with all the necessary information about the text.
Since FIrefox OS 1.2: A DOMRequest object to handle the success or error of the operation. In case of success the request's result is a MozSmsSegmentInfo object with all the necessary information about the text.
