Hi,

I am in the US and currently I can only send SMS through carriers' SMTP gateways (they don't expose the SMPP interface to their SMSCs). I assume that I am not able to play with the SMS Header for my outgoing SMS messages.

I want to know if there is still a way that I can compose a binary WAP Push SMS message and send it via an SMTP gateway.

Please help. Thanks.

The carriers do have SMPP interfaces...you just have to pay to access them. (And in general, you are better off going through an aggregator than going directly to one of these carriers unless you are doing a project with a specific carrier.)

Basically, the SMTP interfaces are just there for routing text messages. They are not designed to handle binary messages.

General WAP Push messages use the Service Indication (SI) format. This content is sent as the payload of a connectionless push PDU defined in the Wireless Session Protocol (WSP), and sent via SMS using the Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP).
