Dear Bryce,

I have three problems.

[1st.issue]
I have a problem sending .midi files to Nokia mobiles. When I send the WAP Push message including a midi file it is downloaded properly on Sony Ericsson, Motorola and other devices but when I try to download it to a Nokia device I get the following message "no reply from proxy".

- Do you ave any idea why this is happening?

[2nd.issue]
Can you explain how the SAR files of the NowSMS work? Is it relative to midi files?

[3rd.issue]
Is there a way that we can trace whether} a message is delivered or not (something like notification status but from the gateways side).}

Hi Dimitris,

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on messages here.

1.) Are you sending a direct URL in the push pointing to the MIDI file? Some phones have problems accepting a media object in such a push as they expect the initial content to be a web or WAP page (HTML or WML file).

(This is one of the reasons why our multimedia WAP Push function links to a WML page first.)

Otherwise, what Nokia phones are you having a problem with?

2.) If the SMS files in the queue have a SAR prefix, then this indicates that the message is longer than will fit in a single SMS message. So it gets segmented into multiple messages, and re-assembled at the receiving end.

3.) It depends on your service provider as to whether or not delivery notifications are available or the SMS.

If you submit an SMS message request via HTTP, and include &ReceiptRequested=Yes in the URL, then that will tell NowSMS that you are requesting a delivery report.

But, whether or not you receive a delivery report will depend on the type of SMSC connection, and whether or not reports are supported on the service that you are connecting to.

NowSMS only supports these reports on SMPP connections and GSM modems.

On GSM modems, you will receive an inbound text message, and there is some discussion of these messages at the following thread:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/6505.html

In SMPP environments, when it works properly with your service provider, generally you will receive a text message back to the sender address that was specified in the message that you sent.

If you are using Multimedia WAP Push, you can get a delivery notification when the user opens the push. You need to set MMSDeliveryReport=Yes in the request, and when the user opens the push, a delivery report will be sent back to the address specified in the MMSFrom variable (which you should most likely set to an e-mail address).

The following link talks about APIs for submitting a multimedia WAP Push:
