Hi Mauro, The Thing to do would be to ask that the subscribers request for the ringtones in the prescribed formats below.
MONOPHONIC ringtones mono <tone code> <phone make> POLYPHONIC ringtones poly <tone code> <phone make> Real ringtones real <tone code> <phone make> Regards, Mike Nwaogu Tel: 234_802_325_6437 Eml: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________ From: Alejandro Guerrieri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "users@kannel.org" <users@kannel.org>; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 1:33:43 PM Subject: Re: I: imy format to send via SMS Mauro, A few notes: 1. You won't be able to tell make and model from the incoming SMS. SMS protocol doesn't have any means to inform you about the kind of device sending the message, so you'll probably have to ask that (by means of some sort of interactive menu or similar methods). 2. Not all models support the same formats, and as I've stated before, there are some models that support shorter messages only. 3. On Kannel source, check on /contrib/web folder, there are some examples on sending many different formats (mostly legacy). Despite not having EMS and SCKL, the "TUNE" mode uses SmartMessaging and it should serve you as a guide about how to implement the other formats. That being said, yes, that would work out for legacy phones IMHO.

EMS? EMS is a "container" to send other formats. For example, E/IMY, and E/IMELODY, which are text formats. EMS was widely supported by Motorola, Siemens, Alcatel and other brands (Nokia had his SmartMessaging protocol so most Nokias doesn't support it). The only main difference is that older/crippled models didn't support more than 128 bytes of data, nor multipart messages (EMS does support sending the data in more than one message with proper headers added). For old Nokias, you may use SCKL, which is a text-based format, capable of multipart as well, or "nokia" (SmartMessaging).p You'll have to experiment a little to get EMS and SCKL working, but Kannel can deliver it with no problems.

I think that the conversione can be done also offline, i mean , i can get the imy file ( or the ott ) pass it to the script and obtain the the file converted to send via kannel, am i right? this solutioin could be used to convert one time every file and send it many times withoud trascoding it on the fly, am not sure if we need to chenge the trascoding accoirding to teh mobile handset. ________________________________ Da: Mike Nwaogu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A: users@kannel.org Inviato: Mercoledì 12 novembre 2008, 15:06:37 Oggetto: Re: imy format to send via SMS Hi Mauro, Kannel doesn't do any conversions. You can send imy files as EMS, you'll need to do some conversions though. You'll need a script that can convert those imy content to a HEX string and send it with the udh of the message caculated and setup.
