I am using a Nokia phone as a Modem. I tried sending a WAP Provisioning message to a Windows Mobile device using the NowSms web interface and the device simply ignores the message. The same message when sent to a Nokia device works perfectly fine.Any help would be appretiated. | |||

Hi Anupam, As Frank mentions in your other posting (http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/132/16969.html), security policies are a big deal for Windows Mobile devices. By default, the security policy defined by the operator and OEM will not allow provisioning. There's some more info in the following thread: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/24272.html Also be forewarned that you cannot send simple provisioning messages using the NowSMS "Send OMA OTA Settings" web form, like you can with many other devices. You need to write your own XML for provisioning Windows Mobile devices, which tends to be a lot more complex. The XML is based upon the same OMA Provisioning Content specification, but Microsoft has added numerous extensions that are specific to Windows Mobile. The other thread may give you some additional pointers. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Thanks Frank and the support team, But I have alredy changed the security settings on my device. I am using Windows mobile 5 device and have used security configuration manager to switch off the security of the device. I also tried changing the same through code. I have changed the following policies: 4119 to value 132 4113 to value 1 4107 to value 3204. The requirement of these changes was mentioned in the msdn library. I am using a User Pin for autentication. Also if i could get some help on what specifications has MicroSoft added specific to Windows Mobile ? All the msdn examples give the same usual wap-provisioning doc format. | |||

Take a look at the other thread that I mentioned: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/24272.html The XML DOC format is the same ... but the characterstic types and parameter names and values are generally different. For example, if you are setting up a GPRS connection, Windows Mobile uses characteristic type "CM_GPRSEntries", while other devices generally use characteristic type "NAPDEF" (and PXPHYSICAL/PXLOGICAL for proxy info). Unfortunately, I think the policy numbers vary between WM5 and WM6. The other thread is talking about WM6, and it refers to different policy numbers. Actually, I'm not sure about WM5. I found some references to the policy numbers that you mention in other threads here, but they were talking about WM2003. | |||
