Hi everyone
I have a modem (wavecom). And currently I am planning to use this to receive mms message.
I am able to decode the MMS indication send via SMS (2xSMS). However i am quite lost of what is the next step. In order to narrow my problem i have a few questions below. Do kindly enlighten me

1) From the MMS indication, a url of the private network is presented to me. So do i presume i initial a gprs connection to the MMSC to retrive all the encapsulated MMS (binary) from the url?

2) Say if I follow step above, do i need to send any ack (binary) back. If so, kindly advise

3) After receiving all the data, How to i encode all the info to the respective message component (image, sound, text). My main concern for this part is how to identified the component and thereafter constuct back to the orginal data (pic, mid ...etc).

Pls kindly advise

Thanks in advance

1.) Yes. And you have to connect to the correct GPRS APN. And you may need to perform the fetch through a WAP gateway (WSP protocol) instead of direct over HTTP.

2.) An MMS client normally acknowledges delivery by sending an M-notifyresp.ind transaction to the MMSC.

3.) Refer to the MMS Encapsulation Specification, published by the Open Mobile Alliance. The retrieved MMS message is of the M-retrieve.conf format. Note that the body of this message uses WAP multipart encoding which is defined in the WSP (Wireless Session Protocol), also defined by the Open Mobile Alliance.

Or, you can just use our Now SMS/MMS Gateway (download at this web site), which handles all of this, including parsing of the received MMS message component.
