Paul, Thank you for the quick response and the answers. I have a few more questions based on your responses.
On the subject of sending to an Aggregator, I was refering to an SMS Aggregator, and using that to send the WAP-Push SMS messages. Would it be possible to send those messages out via the Aggregator instead of using a GPRS modem? When you refer to MM7, this would be a direct, internet IP based connection to the carriers SMPP? I am currently in the US and I don't believe we are able to get that kind of access, or not without alot of fees. When talking about having the WAP-Push message to the phone contain the IP which is a regular server hooked up to the internet with Mbuni, you said that the phones could pull the MMS message that way, "Up to a point". What do you mean by that? What limitations would there be? --Aaron On Nov 16, 2007 11:35 AM, Paul Bagyenda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Aaron, > > answers below > > > On 11/16/07, Aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > I am evaluating Mbuni to use for my company, and I have a few questions. > > > > 1) From what I've read in google/mail list searches, would it be > > correct to say that Mbuni (with kannel) would be able to send an MMS > > to a MSISDN? > > Yes, > > > 2) Going along with 1, if I currently have connection to an SMS > > aggregator, would it be possible to have Mbuni/Kannel push the SMS > > message through the aggregator and obviate the need for a GSM/GPRS > > modem? > > > > SMS Aggregator or MMS Aggregator?
