Hello dear gurus,

I'm an embedded system consultant, and I have a quite specific application for which I will need to receive an MMS (which will contain only an image) through an embedded GSM phone module (wavecom or similar), to decode the MMS and to send the bitmap to an external processor. I can't use a standard phone for cost reasons.

The issue is that embedded modems don't include any MMS protocols, but some have a full TCP/IP and even WAP stacks.

So THE question : I understand that when you send an MMS to a GSM number the mobile first receive an SMS for notification (no problem), including a link to the MMS message to retrieve. Will it be possible and reasonnably easy to retrieve this message using a plain GPRS connection ? Or a WAP connection ? Using which protocol ? And lastly what will be the format of the file we will receive, some "http" like file with the bitmap in the middle ?

Many thanks for your help,
Robert (France)
