i use sms/mms Gateway to send MMs notification Message to Other Phones, the Nokia Phone can receive the notification and download the MMS normally. but the SAMSUNG phone can't receive the MMS notification Message.

I do it like this;

1、 I build one Web Server ,and Create one Folder name:"mms" . i build one mms file with mmscomp.exe, and move it to the "mms" folder.

2、I sent one MMS notification Message to some Phone number, i affirm the MMS URL Is correct,because the Nokia Phone can receive every time.

when i sent the notification message to SAMSUNG Phones, one Phone Can't receive any MMS. but anthor SAMSUNG can receive one occasional.

my mms header file format like this:

X-Mms-Message-Type: m-retrieve-conf
X-Mms-Transaction-ID:0123456789
from:02038182222
to:13922231354
Subject:E-Ticket
X-Mms-Priority:High

i build the mms use utf-8 :
mmscomp.exe -cUTF-8 ............

why the SAMSUNG phone can't received the MMS?

thanks.

Are the phones connected to the same mobile operator?

Is the problem phone actually configured with correct MMS settings?

Can the phones send MMS messages to each other correctly?

There are many reasons why the message might not go through, but I don't have enough information to diagnose the specific problem. My first guess would be a configuration issue, which is why I have asked the questions above.

Beyond that, I would suggest appending "/TYPE=PLMN" to the phone numbers in your "From:" and "To:" headers, because that is required for phone numbers to be in proper MMS format.

If the phones are connected to different mobile operators, you might be encountering an operator that blocks MMS delivery from external MMSCs (which is quite common). Please see http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for more technical explanation.
