As far as i can tell from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Messaging_Service its something
different and must be done in a different way...

but i dont understand what this sms control thing is... could it be that
there is a sms with a kind of notifier? I sended MMS long time ago and i
know when the dest device cannot download the content, there is just an SMS
in its inbox... so maybe you can fake MMS with just a special crafted SMS
and a URL for the payload...
