Using Nokia6310 as GSM modem to connect to Gateway. sending MMS function works well, but when I try 2-way MMS, the MMS can not get processed by the Gateway(there is nothing in MMS-IN directory)

Does anyone know how to config this phone to work

Yuan,

As mentioned in the documentation, you're not going to get the 2-way MMS function to work on a phone that supports either MMS or WAP Push.

The reason for this is because the special SMS message that notifies the phone that it has an MMS message waiting is intercepted by either the WAP browser or the MMS client, and is never presented to the SMS terminal interface to which the gateway is connected. (That's the only way we can receive the MMS, as there is no standard for interfacing with the MMS client on the device.)

If you use an older phone that doesn't have WAP push or MMS support (we've found that the Nokia 7110 works), or if you use a dedicated GSM modem like one of the Wavecom devices, then you can get around this problem.

As an alternative, you might want to consider the e-mail interface, having MMS users send MMS to your application as an e-mail address.
