I'm using the NOWSMS Web Menu Interface to create a .MMS file to send to a Nokia 3650 phone. Unfortunately, the message doesn't get delivered due an issue at our end (see my posting "Destination Port Numbers").

So, I send a WAP Push message with the URL to retrieve the message from the NOWSMS server, which arrives OK, but when I go to retrieve it I get the message "PushViewer: Invalid File Format" displayed on the phone. The message contains a simple jpg image.

Is this something to do with the phone, or is it because the server doesn't understand the WAP UA header sent from the phone?

Cheers

Matt,

Basically the way that you're trying it won't work.

The process of delivering an MMS to a phone is a little more complicated.

The compiled MMS message file that you have is in "m-retrieve-conf" format ... and generally the phones want to see a notification ("m-notification-ind") message first ... and this wakes up the MMS client on the phone to fetch the actual "m-retrieve-conf" format message.

So sending a conventional push is not going to do the trick.
