Hi!
When I use Now SMS Web Interface send my WAP OTA Bookmark,I receive a working bookmark.
But when I open a IE window and input this url:
http://127.0.0.1:8800/Send WAP OTA Message.htm?PhoneNumber=myPhoneNumber&Text=TestBookmark&WAPBookmark=http://wap.haoxi.com&Submit=Submit
or input url like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=myPhoneNumber&Text=TestBookmark&WAPBookmark=h ttp://wap.haoxi.com&Submit=Submit
My phone display that I have receive a bookmark.But when I try to read this bookmark,the phone reset,and there is nothing in the phone.The bookmark I just received is lost.
Why does this happened?

Hi Sam,

There shouldn't be any difference between the two.

The only thing I can think of is maybe a URL escaping issue (the form would URL escape the "://" when submitting it).

Try leaving off the "http://" prefix. When you specify a bookmark, NowSMS will add this prefix if it is not present.

Thank you for the reply!
The value of parameter 'Text', I use Chinese before, so my phone receive wrong bookmark.Today I replace Chinese by English,then I receive right bookmark.I hava try WAPBookmark=http://wap.haoxi.com and WAPBookmark=wap.haoxi.com, they both work if the 'Text' value is English or Chinese that encoding by UTF-8.
There are two more question:
This is Shenzhen HaoXi communication technique limited company in China.
1, Have you offer some interface to support us develop our web application that base on SMS/MMS Gateway? We want to send WAP Push and OTA Bookmarks in a web application by use SMS/ MMS Gateway.
2, Please let us know its price if we decide to purchase it from you.
(Those two question, I have send a email to nowsms@now.co.uk yestoday, but not receive you reply.I think maybe you are not receive the mail, so I leave message here.)
Thank you!

Hi Sam,

If you want to specify Chinese characters directly in the URL, then you need to also include a parameter "&charset=big5" or "&charset=gb2312" depending on which encoding you are using. By default, we expect utf-8.

If you still haven't received an e-mail back from us, let me know. I generally forward pricing inquiries to our sales department, and I can chase them if you are not getting a response.

Regarding the interface for submitting WAP Push and bookmarks, it is HTTP-based. So you can use any environment that allows you to generate HTTP requests. It sounds like you are already doing this. Here are the links for the HTTP GET parameters:

Hi Sam,

WAP Push is covered in several specifications produced by the Open Mobile Alliance (www.openmobilealliance.org).

Service Indication (SI) is the most typical format that is used for the content of a WAP push message. This SI content is the payload of the push message. The push message format PDU is defined in the Wireless Session Protocol (WSP), and when transmitted over SMS, it is sent using the Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP). WSP and WDP are also OMA specifications.

Hi Atul,

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

A mobile user can access your link by entering the URL manually on their phone.

Are you wanting to proactively send the WAP URL to users ... if so, that is done via a WAP Push, which can be sent easily from NowSMS. Start by sending WAP Push messages from the NowSMS web menu interface, and then move to the direct URL method ... http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/sendin g_wap_push_messages.htm
