Nikos, You're unnecessary complicating things! Wap-pushes ARE delivered as binary messages over the air.
What PPG does is to accept a specially crafter XML, and create a binary message from it. I don't know where did you inferred that it was wbxml encoded (I didn't say that...). If you wish to create that binary message, time ago I've crafted a PHP function "send_wap_push()" that does the trick of encoding an URL into a binary sms that, when sent, arrives as a wap-push: http://www.blogalex.com/archives/12 If you get the output of that funtion and insert it into sqlbox, it'll arrive as a wap-push. This is not the same as sending an SMS with an URL in it. Most phones recognize the URL and provides means to access it, but that's not a "real" wap push. A real wap-push comes into the "service inbox", not as a regular SMS. Regards, Alejandro 2009/1/25 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> > Hi Alej, > > PPG is not binary (wbxml) encoded.
