Hi,

If I have 1 TrueTone File with multiple formats( RMF,AMR,WAV, WFM). I need to push the appropriat file to the right handset once the user sends "Tone 1234".

If:

1- I hosted contents on External web server, and Put all contents on WML page then send normal WAP push, But this way I cannot control URL expiration.

2- If I hosted the contents in NOWSMS server, or I used MMS notifications I will have URL expiration but I cannot support all handsets...How can I use "User-Agent Profiles" to control the process.

Thanks

Hi Click,

If you want to have it converted on the fly, you'd have to do it yourself and control URL expiration. The URL that you push would need to point to a script, where your script would evaluate the "User-Agent:" and/or "Profile:" headers to determine which version of the content to return.

Other than that, I can only make two suggestions. One would be to have instructions that users of different handsets have to send different messages.

For example:

TONE A1234
TONE B1234

or

TONEA 1234
TONEB 1234

The other option would be that you could return all of the content types in response to TONE 1234 ... and let the user pick the one that works for their handset. (Just make sure the link expiration time is not too quick, as it may take the user a little while to figure out which one to download.)
