Is your MMSC gateway MM7 compliant or you have a proprietary interface?

Thanks!

Hi, while we will be adding an MM7 interface in the near future, the current interface is proprietary ... albeit, very simple.

To submit an MMS message to the gateway, you can either do this:

1.) Via HTTP using a POST with the "multipart/form-data" MIME content type. An example of a form that creates this content type from a web browser can be found in the "Send MMS Message" example in the web menu interface.

2.) Via SMTP (logging in with SMTP Authentication if you want to send to any phone number, not just the phone numbers registered in the MMSC Users list), where you send a message to phonenumber@mms.domain, and include the MMS message content as e-mail message attachments.

3.) If the MMS content is pre-compiled and resides on an external web server, you can issue a simple HTTP GET to ask our server to send out an MMS notification (doesn't give you any content adapation support).

If you need any clarification on these interfaces, please feel free to ask.

hi all
I have an doubt regarding message priority which is being set in mm1_submit.REQ (high/low/normal).
For whom this priority is concerned?
Is it for service provider or it is user level priority of the MM.i.e. whether it is used by mmsc for routing,forwarding etc. or used by user while receiving the MM.
At what level the message priority is significant.
thanks

My interpretation ...

The specifications (both 3GPP and OMA) do not suggest that the priority field is anything more than a field in which the sender can specify a perceived "importance" for the message.

It does not imply that an MMSC should handle a message of high priority with any greater urgency than any a message of low priority.

I'd equate this to setting priority on an e-mail message. Generally speaking, if you set a priority on an SMTP e-mail message, the receiving client might highlight the message as having a priority associated with it ... but the mail servers that route the message generally do not take the priority into consideration.
