GSM Modem Use

Hi,

I'm still trying to get my head around this... Can I use this class to decode an SMS I have recieved and downloaded from my GSM modem that was a pointer to an MMS message held by my service provider - and how?

i.e I have sent myself and MMS, and recieved the SMS on my GSM modem. So next I need to parse the SMS (which is just a long sting of charcters as the message with a sender of 'Orange' (my carrier) ) and go and get the MMS from the carier and then decode it (picture, sender, message).

I'm stuck on the decoding of the SMS and the fetch from the carrier - help!

Hi,

The class was designed to decode MMS messages sent to the MMSC, so you can't achieve what you want to do "out of the box". How ever, the fields of the notification that you recieve (M-Notification.ind as specified in WAP-209) is encoded the same as the fields of an MMS message sent to an MMSC, so it's possible to make some changes so that the class can decode a notification message as well.

If you want to do this, you should read the WAP-209 specification. All the hard work is already done in the MMS Decoder class (decoding of the different data types), but the WAP-209 is messy and it would probably require quite a lot of reading if you haven't dealt with it before.

I hope this reply is helpful, good luck!
