Hi Bryce,
Using NowSMS with a GSM SMSC operator is easy and I have configured a few asp scripts for 2 way sms. I am successfully able to receive/submit sms messages, 2 way apps, and ringtones over SMPP with the GSM operator.
What I would like to know is, what modifications do I need in order to provide the same services to a CDMA operator?
Whats the difference as far as serving content and connecting/receiving/submitting messages in a CDMA environment? From the board, I understand that for Wap push messages the CDMA operator should support WEPT teleservices...
For normal premium(ringtones and logos/pic msgs) and 2 ways SMS?
Thanks

Suvinay,

Ringtones and logos/pic message are Nokia specific in the CDMA environment.

They are sent out as text messages. Over in www.forum.nokia.com, there is a Smart Messaging specification for CDMA that you can download.

Using EMS in a CDMA environment, requires that the CDMA operator supports the WEMT teleservice. NowSMS automatically requests that service when submitting an EMS message, and the EMS message format is then the same as in the GSM environment. (However, note that CDMA networks often have smaller size limits than the 140 byte binary limit in GSM, so this is something that you unfortunately have to check with your operator.)

WAP Push support requires that the operator support WDP Adaptation for SMPP, which uses the WAP teleservice.
