Most MMS emulators that I have seen don't actually implement the over-the-air MMS protocols.

I'd suggest using a live phone, and configure it to use NowSMS as its MMSC.

Well, Nokia has:

- an MMSC emulator (for recieving MMS via MM7/EAIF)

- a terminal emulator for recieving and watching MMS using for example a Nokia 6230 model ROM.

- a Connectivity Framework for linking both emulator (recieving MMS via MM7 or EAIF and routing them to the (virtual) mobile terminal.

I have all this working and can recieve and watch EAIF messages in the terminal emulator sent from NowSMS, but there is a incompatiblity between NowSMS and Nokia's MM7 imlementation.

My guess is that Nokia has another implementation, any way, since here in Chile the big communication companies are using Nokia MMSC 3.1, I would like to see it working with NowSms, or at least, understand what is going wrong.

Thanks.

Hi Christopher,

I still don't think that those emulators implement the actual MM1 interface which is used for over the air delivery of MMS, which is what the original poster asked about.

The MM7 issue with Nokia's libraries appears to be a problem that Nokia does not like some white space in our XML.

Download the latest patch for NowSMS from link in the "What's New" section of the web site.

Then make sure that you have "Remove white space from MM7 XML" checked in any "MMSC VASP" or "MMSC Routing" definitions. That should get around the XML parsing problem that they have in their libraries.

I'm not aware of this being a problem in their actual MMSCs ... just in their Java libraries and emulator.

If you are having a specific problem, then I would want to see more detail on the specific problem, and related debug logs from NowSMS to show what is occurring.
