Hi, I have a problem with MMS Notification.I have a MMS file on my web server. I sent a MMS Notification on the phone. But the problem is, that the phone downloads the MMS only if I configure MMS Access point to wap acces point (generaly it is something like mms.t-mobile.cz , but it works only with wap.t-mobile.cz). I thing that the phone is trying to connect over the MMSC and not over Wap Portal. Here is the header of my Notification: ------------------------------------------------------------- 06 User Data Header Length (11 Octets) 05 Identifer Element (Token for 16 Bit port addressing) 04 Length of Parameter values (4 Octets) 0B84 push dest port (2948) 23F0 push source port (9200) ------------------------------------------------------------- 00 Push Transaction ID 06 Push PDU Type 22 Length of Push Headers (34 Octets) 6170706C69636174 696F6E2F766E642E 7761702E6D6D732D 6D65737361676500 Content-Type: application/vnd.wap.mms-message AF84 X-Wap-Application-ID: x-wap-application:mms.ua Any idea how to configure the notification to work with correct settings for MMS (mms.t-mobile.cz)? Thanx. Mozzy | |||

Mozzy, Sorry, but what you have encountered is a "commercial issue" imposed by many mobile operators. Essentially, they have setup separate GPRS APNs for MMS traffic. Connections to the MMS APN are only allowed to connect to a particular WAP gateway, and that WAP gateway is only allowed to talk to the operator MMSC. Other than changing the settings on the receiving mobile phone, there is no way to get around this issue (other than striking a commercial arrangement with the operator that allows access to your MMSC via that MMS APN/WAP Gateway, which we have had some larger customers of ours accomplish). This is one of the reasons that we introduced the capability in the v5.0 release of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway for connecting to the operator MMSC over GPRS for sending/receiving MMS messages. (This release is currently in beta, details and download at http://www.nowsms.com/beta5.) Sending an MMS message in this fashion typically costs more than the SMS costs for an MMS notification, but it does provide an entry point for closed operator configurations. -bn | |||
