Dear Sir,

When I send a WAP Push message using the web with phone number 12345678,WAP URL abcdefgh and Text zyxwvuts, I received the following byte dump:

0605040b8423f08710601ae02056a0045c60c03
6162636465666768000103

William,

Are you using the NowSMS gateway to submit the message?

It sounds like the SMS service provider that you are connecting to does not support binary SMS messages. Or, if it is an HTTP based SMS provider, then the URL template for binary messages may require additional settings to tell the provider that it is a binary message.

Basically you're seeing the binary data in text format.

Yes, I am using NowSMS gateway to submit the message. I use the SMSC simulator from logica ( http://opensmpp.logica.com/introhtml/menu.htm )to receive the packet and then explorer it.

Then I can see the packet is 0605040b8423f08710601ae02056a0045c60c0361626364656667680001037a79787776757473000101 using the web with phone number 12345678,WAP URL abcdefgh and Text zyxwvuts

I would like to know why such a packet is formed. e.g. what is the meaning of the beginning byte 06 05 means??

Thanks,
William

William,

You'll want to take a look at a variety of different WAP specifications, which you can download from the Open Mobile Alliance web site (http://www.openmobilealliance.org).

Specifically, you'll want to look at the WDP spec which specifies how to send WAP packets over different protocols, including GSM SMS. The WSP spec defines different PDU formats that are sent over WDP, including push. And then for the content of a push message, you'll want to look at the Service Indicator and/or Service Load specs.

Good luck!
