Hi,

I am evaluating the NowSMS v5.51 and I have it configured to use the operator's MMSC (T-Mobile US). Everything works fine as far as sending MMS messages go. I was wondering if there is a way for me to find out before sending the MMS if the target device is capable of receiving the MMS.

Also, is there a API available for NowSMS? Currently I am using the SDK from MMS SDK.

Thanks
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,

I'm not aware of anyway of querying if the target device is MMS compatible.

Basically, each operator has their own database of what customers are enabled for MMS services, and I haven't seen any that offered a way of querying this.

The NowSMS APIs are HTTP based (primarily).

MMS Submission APIs can be found at the following link:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages.htm

Also, a similar overview to the above:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/830.html

There are also some PHP scripts:

And a Java example:

And a good complete MM7 example here (raw HTTP post using MM7):

Hi Bryce,

Thankyou for your answer. On the device capability, is there a way for me to get the UAProf of the device I am sending the MMS to. From that I can then figure out if the device is capable of receiving a MMS. Do carriers make this information available from their MMSC?

Thanks
