Hi,

It is possible, but very awkward due to the default security settings on the device.

The default security setting for Windows Mobile is that the phone will only accept provisioning content that is signed by the USERNETWPIN method.

USERNETWPIN is similar to NETWPIN in that it requires the IMSI number (a number associated with the SIM...not the phone number) to send out a configuration message.

Needless to say, this makes general use impractical unless you are a mobile operator and have access to a database of IMSI.

NowSMS supports USERNETWPIN encoding, but in the web interface, you check "NETWPIN", and then the format of the PIN should be IMSI:USERPIN, where IMSI is the actual IMSI, and USERPIN is the USERPIN value. (If NowSMS gets a NETWPIN request, and it sees a ":" in the PIN value, it converts it to USERNETWPIN.)
