Hi, we are using your solution sending OTA setting to our customers mobile phones, but ota settings for Sony Ericsson does not
work. I think that older versions are working but fx Sony Ericsson W890, and W890i does only recieve the message as a normal sms with some cryptic data in it, fx (,*application/x-wap-prov.browser-settings) etc

Do You have any settings file for Sony Ericsson, or can You provide me with some info where to find some useful information about this? I
have tryed Sony Ericsson but there example are not working for me :-(


Example that is working for fx nokia:
$url = "PhoneNumber=" . rawurlencode("12345678") . "&CountryCode=" . rawurlencode("+123") . "&Country=" . rawurlencode("DK") . "&Operator=" . rawurlencode("GPRS TT") . "&OTA_BEARER=" . rawurlencode("GPRS") . "&OTA_GPRS_ACCESSPOINTNAME=" . rawurlencode("internet") . "&OTA_PORT=" . rawurlencode("8088") . "&OTA_PROXY=" . rawurlencode("174.23.34.1") . "&OTA_NAME=" . rawurlencode("GPRS DATA TT") . "&OTA_PPP_AUTHTYPE=" . rawurlencode("PAP") . "&OTA_PPP_AUTHNAME=" . rawurlencode("internet") . "&OTA_PPP_AUTHSECRET=" . rawurlencode("internet") . "&OTA_URL=" . rawurlencode("http://www.wap.dk") . "&Submit=" . rawurlencode("Send") . "";

Thanks a lot

Hi Pigbear,

I haven't checked recent SonyEricsson phones, but it is likely that they have dropped support for the old OTA settings format, and are only supporting the OMA OTA format.

You're probably going to have no choice but to go over to the OMA OTA format.

The OMA OTA format is considerably more complex, with more options ... and we recommend submitting it in XML format instead of using URL parameters.

You can build the XML through the NowSMS web interface. Use the web form to generate the settings that you need to use. Once you have working settings, you can use the "View XML" button to extract the working settings.

It looks like you are submitting via PHP. There is an example PHP script for sending OMA OTA settings in XML format at the following link:
