Hi, We are finding that on certain phones, such as Sony Ericsson P800, a WAP push appears as “unknown sender”. Can you please tell me how to specify a sender so this will not appear ambiguous to the user? | |||

dk, Download the ZIP file at http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms550d.zip. Information about new changes since v5.50 in that update can be found in the PATCH.TXT file in the ZIP. Edit WAPGW.INI, and under the [WAPGW] header, add WAPPushInitiatorURI=http://www.YourWebSite.com/ (Note: Do include the trailing "/", otherwise some Nokia phones will display a couple of garbage characters). Basically, you want this value to be a web URL. It does not make logical sense, but some phones, such as the P800/P900 look for this value to appear as the sender of a push message. Some newer Nokia phones do this as well, only instead of displaying "Unknown sender" they just leave the sender blank. The format needs to be a URL format ... if it is not a URL format, it might work on some phones, but cause problems on others (such as the garbage characters issue that I mentioned). It is also possible to override the INI file setting for this value on individual submit requests by including WAPPushInitiatorURI=value in the URL request when submitting a message. (Note: The WAPPushInitiatorURI value is not currently supported for multimedia WAP push.) -bn | |||
