I am using nowsms with ATT and Tmobile in USA, and have 2 questions regarding WAP push:

1) What is the maximum length of the URL I can send using a WAP push (SI or SL)?
2) What is the maximum length of the accompanying text I can send in a WAP push (SI)?

From a NowSMS perspective, it looks like we are rather liberal in allowing rather long URLs and text ... probably about 1000 characters each.

However, you're likely to run into real world problems with much shorter URLs and text. And I don't know what those real world limits are.

In most situations like this, the OMA publishes a "conformance document" which specifies real world limits on parameter sizes. However, I've talked to my colleagues, and we haven't been able to find such a document to cover SI/SL. Maybe we just don't know where to look as the specifications that cover this are a bit older and predate the OMA.
