Hi, In our experience, it is very rare for an emulator to include support for over the air delivery of MMS messages. The reason for this is quite simple ... the MMS delivery process is generally initiated by the receipt of a special MMS notification message that is sent via WAP push over SMS. But you can't really do SMS over the air into an emulator. As a result, some emulators introduce special interfaces for loading MMS messages into the emulator. NowSMS does not support any of those special interfaces. From a purely technical standpoint, WAP push can be implemented on top of IP, it doesn't actually require SMS. However, most emulators don't include a full WAP push over IP stack. At least, that's been our experience. You can determine if a simulator or other application running on your PC is listening for a push over IP using the "NETSTAT -a" command. When you run "NETSTAT -a" it tells you all of the active IP connections (and ports open for listen) on your local PC. In the "Local Address" column, if port "2948" (follows ":") is listed with "UDP" in the "Proto" column, then this indicates that there is an application listening on the WAP push port over IP. If you do not see any such entry in the results of the "NETSTAT -a" command, then any further attempts will be futile, as there is no simulator or application even listening for WAP push over IP. In NowSMS, from the web menu interface, you can send a WAP push or MMS message by specifying an IP address in the "phone number" field. Additionally, you can configure NowSMS to route MMS notifications for specific phone numbers to IP addresses. In the MMSC.INI file, it is possible to create an [IPNotify] section. Under this section header, specify PhoneNumber=IP.Address (e.g., +9999999=192.168.1.200), to have MMS notifications for the specified phone number get routed to the specified IP address. (This particular feature is intended primarily for testing environments.) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
