Peter,

Good News!

I�ve been able to encode Mono Ringtones and Mono CLI Icons with //SCKL :)

With Ringtones everything went fine. I used ringtonetools to prepare the
strings and other than encoding the "//"as %2F%2F and the spaces  as "+"
there were no problems.

With ICONS, I also used ringtonetools, but it didn�t work out until I
changed the header.  Ringtonetools output the header as:

//SCKL15830000010301

Thats it:

//SCKL -> It is an //SCKL encoded message
1583 Source port (1583 Hex)
0000 Dest port (0)
01 -> message ID (anything hex goes here)
03 -> The whole message is composed of 3 parts.
01 -> Part 1 (of 3).

I just changed the destination port to 1583 and everything goes fine! I am
now able to send messages over the TDMA networks in Argentina to a whole
bunch of Nokia phones. The list of phones that I know it works is (Alway
Nokia):

3560
5125
6360
6560
7160
8260
8860

I will test other brands in the near future and I'll post my results then. I
didn�t tried with Op Logos, it whould also work I suppose...

With Ringtones for Motorolas, the format I used is iMELODY. Just send the
whole iMELODY File as a text SMS and it works. It is very important to end
with a newline (%0A) or you�ll just receive the text as a message. I encoded
the whole text in HEX just to be sure and send it as "%XX%XX%XX" and it
works like a charm. ringtonetools with -mostheaders switch worked fine for
me.

It works with (almost) new V60's, and with V120, V150, C331 and C353 as far
as I know. Again, I�ll keep testing, also with other brands because I think
iMELODY is supported by other vendors as well.

More news: May phones allows for a "fake wap push" over CDMA/TDMA networks.
Just send a regular web link along with your message, and then the phone's
software recognizes it and allows you to follow the link using your wap
broswer.

ie: "Use this link: http://your.server.here/deliver_product.php?id=12345678";

I don�t have yet a list of working phones, but we tested with a couple of
Motorolas and Nokias and it worked. Rule of thumb: If the link gets
underlind or highlighted, it will probably work!

Best regards,
