Can you clarify your question? Are you looking for a service provider? For more general information about the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, please see http://www.nowsms.com/whatisnowsms.htm. -bn | |||

I think I'm looking for a service provider? But let me clarify what I'm looking for and I appreciate your help and patience. We are developing a business centered around pushing MMS to mobile phones here in the US. We want to package up multi media content into a MMS message and send it to subscribers on the mobile networks over here like Verizon, Cingular/ATT and T-Mobile. I'm able to send content using SMTP with limited success, but I believe that MMS through an MMSC using the MM3 or MM7 protocol? and HTTP is the way to go going forward. So I'm ready to package up the content into the correct MM? protocol, but don't know to whom (I assume an MMSC) and what IPAddress I can send it to or how to set up an account and with whom to setup an account with to send the messages through. Also I would like to bill the recepient (mobile phone) for any charges for the transmission of the message. I know that's a lot, and I may be have some parts wrong, but any answers would be greatly appreciated to this newcomer. Thanks | |||

Any updates to Matt's question? I'd like to push content through Cingular and T-Mobile's MMSC, and bill for content as well. | |||

Hi, Sorry for the long delay in response. Aside from contacting the mobile operators in question, I'm not sure what to suggest. I'm not aware of any MMS aggregators in the US that are dealing with all of the operators. NowSMS can support the protocols that you mention, but it's a problem of getting the proper type of connection. Because most of the major US mobile operators now have MMS interworking, you can submit messages via a GSM/GPRS modem into one operator MMSC, and that operator will route it to the other operators. http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm (I believe Cingular currently has the most extensive set of interworking agreements.) But to be honest, the SMTP route is quite tempting in the US, you just need to ask your audience which mobile operator they are subscribed to. Unfortunately, you can't do any premium rate (reverse billing) via either SMTP or GSM/GPRS modem. That requires a service provider or direct connection to the mobile operator. I'm not aware of a service provider that can provide premium rate MMS in the US. There are aggregators that can deal with premium rate SMS in the US. But there the issue is how to package your content. Normally I'd suggest WAP Push, but WAP Push in the US is really only viable for Cingular and T-Mobile. For the others, the best you can do is send an SMS with a web link and hope that the receiving phone can parse a URL from an SMS text message to open up the phone's browser. Regarding the follow-up question from Mike ... WAP Push is feasible with Cingular and T-Mobile. You'd just need a premium rate SMS provider that can do binary messaging to those carriers. I don't normally recommend specific providers, but two that I am aware of which should be able to handle this are SimpleWire and mBlox. -bn | |||
