hi chris,
i have music in the form of MP3s and WAVs. And i dont
want any specialised mobile instrument,(as you said
the certain mobile instrument have MP3 players). i
want the MP3 player to be residing at the gateway
end(SMS or WAP). And the gateway initiating a voice
call (through the cellular network) to the requesting
mobile phone to play the music.
This is something similar to one of my friend calling
me from his mobile to my phone (mobile or PSTN) and
telling me to play a song of his choice which i have
in the form of MP3. I play the song on my MP3 player
and take my phone (mobile or PSTN) closer to the
speakers for my friend to listen to the music and my
friend will be charged for the air time.
In the above case the request for the song is made as
a voice call, while what i want in my application is
that the song request to come as an SMS or a WAP
request. The player resides at the gateway end and a
voice call to be initiated by the gateway (SMS or
WAP), and song to be played as a voice call charged on
air-time basis.
do you think this is realizable technically,
considering i have access to an open source SMS-WAP
gateway (kannel) and i can modify the source as
required?
thanks
