Hi! Even though it is expensive to WAP over SMS, there is one good reason for doing so. It might be a long shot, but still a little bit interesting for some special applications.
When you talk on the phone you can not simultaneously have a CSD session and on most GPRS phones you can not have data communication at the same time as you talk on the phone. Still, SMS is a bearer that works when you are on the phone. This means that a WAP push can come to the phone while you speak, but it also means that a user can use a WAP application while speaking on the phone. I guess this might be hard if the phone is held next to the ear, but you can use a hands-free equipment :-) Now, having said that - can someone tell me if the job to make Kannel to support WAP over SMS is a big thing or if this is just not included because it has low support in the phones and at the operators? If this is the case, maybe you can tell me where to start making the changes or help me to do it. I have looked a little bit at it and in my view it looks like the only thing that needs to be done is to make a connection between the smsbox and that wapbox if there is an SMS with a special UDH (or whatever it is that designated the WAP over SMS message) and the package the reply to the WAP request in a return SMS message.

I presume you mean pull mode of operation ? Kannel does not support it, neither do most of phones nor operators. Aarno
