Hi Balint, The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) (http://www.openmobilealliance.org) is responsible for the technical implementation of the MM1 protocol. You'll find the MMS related specs on that site specify this protocol. MM1 is defined at an abstract level by the 3GPP (http://www.3gpp.org) in the TS 23.140 specification. Of course, the specs can be a bit confusing. The MMS Encapsulation specification (from the OMA) defines the "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" content type. This is the type of content that is sent in the MM1 specification. The m-notification-ind message type, which notifies that a handset has received an MMS message, is sent over WAP push (usually over SMS) ... the other message types are transmitted over HTTP. Sending a message over MM1 is basically an HTTP POST of the m-send-req message type. In a typical operator environment, you can only perform this type of POST over a GPRS connection (and usually only via the operator's WAP gateway), so it is not as simple as it sounds. We implement these protocols (and other MMS related protocols) in our product, the Now SMS/MMS Gateway. The MM1 over GPRS support is only in the v5.0 release, currently in beta @ http://www.nowsms.com/beta5). -bn | |||
