I am trying to figure out how to compose an URL to send a ringtone to Nokia. I have a hex string that I can send by using NowSMS interface but I cant seem to find out what URL parameters I need to supply to send it programatically.

Also on that note anyone can suggest any site where I can download some basic HEX strings for ringtones.

Thanx

The URL parameters are documented in the html help file (it's the link at the very bottom left). For the case of a binary message the basic format to use is:

http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=xxx&Data=xxx&UDH=xxx&PID=xxx&DCS=xxx&sender=xxx&binary=1

replacing the xxx's with the relevant values.

For ringtone hex strings you could try http://www.montrealsoft.com/nokia/SharedTones.asp, these are provided in an old text based Nokia format but if I remember rightly the hex strings are still valid (excluding the //SCKL prefix).

good luck.

If you have one of those strings, you might also want to start trying to send it through the web form in NowSMS, which builds a few of the extra headers.

Feel free to post an example of the string you're trying to send, and we'll try to help you sort the right format.
