Hi I am new bie MMS developer. I tried your software and I am able to send SMS, Wap push and all. But when I tried to send an MMS to my 7210 mobile, I am not able to recieve it. Something is arriving in the phone (the blinking icon is appearing). But after some times it goes. Some times messages like "Authentication failed", "Subscribe to GPRS first", etc are coming. These messages are appearing again and again after frequent intervals. I am subscribed to GPRS. My mobile network operator doesnt have support for MMS. But it have WAP. Can I test MMS without support from my mobile operator? Can you please let me know how to set completely the settings in my phone? Please help me. Thanks a lot. Shanavaz. | |||

Hi Shanavaz, It sounds to me like you need to configure the MMS settings on the mobile phone. On the 7210, you'll find those settings under Messages->Message Settings->Multimedia Msgs->Connection Settings->Edit Active multimedia settings. "Home page" is the address of your MMSC. This is really only important if you are going to be sending MMS messages from the 7210, in which case you would enter the address of your NowSMS server, with the username and password of an "MMSC User" account that you define on NowSMS (e.g., http://server.name:port/username=password). For the GPRS Access Point and IP address, use the same settings that are defined for your WAP browser. (Services->Select->Settings->Edit Active Settings) Note that while the 7210 allows you to do WAP over GSM dial-up, the MMS settings on the 7210 require the use of GPRS. -bn | |||

Hi I tried all the settings as you told. I have GPRS also. I set the home page also correctly. What happens now is the icon is blinking indicating that it is trying to retrieve an MMS message. After some time the icon disappears. No error message or nothing. I have set the MIME type for MMS on my web server. Is it a problem that my mobile operator does not have MMS support? Or any other problem? I tried with 7650 also. Same result. Regards, Shanavaz. | |||

Shanavaz, Put a simple WML file on the content server from which you are attempting to retrieve MMS. A simple file like this will suffice: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"> <wml> <card title="Hello World"> <p align="center"> <big><b>Hello World!</b></big><br/> </p> </card> </wml> If the NowSMS server is your content server, store this file in the MMSCDATA subdirectory under the NowSMS program directory with a ".wml" extension (e.g., "test.wml"). Can you access this page from the WAP browser in your phone? If no, can you access http://mms.now.co.uk/index.wml from the WAP browser? What about other WAP pages? If you cannot access any WAP content, then you need to get the right WAP settings configuration settings for your operator. If you can access other WAP content, but you can't access the WML file on your content server, then verify that you can connect to your content server from the public internet and that it is not blocked by a firewall. Who is your provider? What are the settings that you are using? Whether or not they have MMS support is not really important. What is important is that their WAP gateway support SAR (segmentation and reassembly) which is required by MMS clients for handling the transfer of larger data objects. If their WAP gateway does not have this support, you can use our public WAP gateway at 213.48.20.10 ... as long as the GPRS connection that you get from your operator offers full internet connectivity (some only give you a private IP address and require all internet connectivity to pass through the operator WAP gateway). -bn | |||

Hi, I am trying to get onto the net on my mobile and have set up all the different things, eg. IP address, access points etc, but everytime I try to connect it says, "Subscribe to GPRS first", what do i do? | |||

Emily, It means exactly what it says, your operator requires you to have GPRS services for MMS to work, for that you need to contact your mobile operator and subscibe to their service. | |||
| Emily |
How do i go about doing that? | |||
| Bryce Norwood - NowSMS Support |
Call customer service for your mobile operator, and tell them that you want to subscribe to GPRS services. | |||
