I am developing a vb.net application and i want to send mms using nowsms without having the need of a connected gsm modem. i have already subscribed to a MMS service provider but the provider gave me a WSDL,URL endpoint, username and password. But i dont know how to use that. Someone has any idea? Thanks

Hi Michael,

What service provider?

Are they using a standard MMS protocol like MM7, or have they defined their own protocol?

I'm using Globe Labs' Service for MMS. They provided an API for their service but I don't know how to use it. Like what I said, they gave me WSDL, URL endpoint, username and password. So, I want to know if there's any way to use nowsms with the subscription I made with Globe Labs. I think they are using SOAP.

Do you offer an MMS subscription? So, instead of using Globe Labs, I 'll just subscribe to nowsms. Thanks

Hi Michael,

That does look like an interesting service option in the Philippines.

We are investigating ways of supporting additional HTTP, SOAP and XML based services, but unfortunately at this time, we do not support that service.

I will point out that the MM7 protocol that we do support is SOAP based. But it does appear that Globe is using a different SOAP based protocol.

We will investigate supporting this particular protocol in the future (I am concerned that their web page forbids their protocol from being implemented in commercial products without their express consent and approval). At this time, unless there is some other MM7 based option available in PH, the only option we can support for MMS is GSM modem.

Do you know how to use SMIL to send MMS thru my application?

Yes, include a SMIL file (use .smil file extension) as one of the MMS content files, and it will be applied to the message.

Reference other content files by file name (not Content-ID: / cid:)

If you do not include SMIL as one of your content files, NowSMS will generate some very simple SMIL to accompany the message as some devices and MMSCs expect a SMIL part to always be present.
