Good luck.

The Nokia 7110 does not support MMS.

Even if it did ... in general, any simulators that do support MMS, are only good for testing MMS content. I haven't seen one that implemented any significant part of the MMS protocol. (Remember, more developers are developing content than there are developing the protocol.)

Just to give you a few pointers ...

When you post a message to an MMSC, you are logically performing an HTTP POST of MMS content. The MMS content is encoded according to the MMS Encapsulation Specification published by the Open Mobile Alliance, and it is of the MIME type "application/vnd.wap.mms-message".

In today's environment, handsets generally don't implement HTTP directly, and instead use the WAP protocols for more efficient use of the limited mobile bandwidth.

The Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) component of WAP defines the higher level layer of the WAP protocols. It logically maps to HTTP, so that a WAP client issues a WSP GET or POST to the WAP gateway proxy, and the WAP gateway proxy issues an HTTP GET or POST to the content server. There is just additional session handling in that a client must issue a WSP CONNECT before it can issue a WSP GET or POST. (There is a connection-less mode of WSP, but as it lacks retry handling and segmentation and reassembly for larger requests, it is best ignored.)

So a typical MMS client, to send an MMS message, is going to make a GPRS connection (the APN is the node on the GPRS network which connects the GPRS network to an IP network), make a connection to a WAP gateway proxy and issue a WSP POST through the WAP gateway proxy to an MMSC.

Good luck.

Hi,bryce,
thanks for your reply!
Could you give me some raw UDP package of WSP-CONNECT and WSP-POST ?
I use NowSMS to send MMS with web interface,
no result response ,why?
