Hi Stacy - sorry for the slow responce - i lost this email. What we do when we get a message is send the phone number, the message and the time date stamp as that's all the info that comes in
but is you hit a shortcode we can pass the network. We have a WapCMS sytem that intergrates with our SMS system so if the handset hits a wap page then the user agent is passed back from this you can determine the handset spec and serve up relevant content etc HTH On 16/05/06, Stacy Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually I do have one question, is it possible to determine the users > phone capabilities etc in real-time (during SMS two-way interaction) or > is this type of thing only possible in tangent with an online app where > the user has to pick their phone model etc etc? > > Appreciate the info, this stuff is not easy to come by! > > Stace > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Tong - TalkWebSolutions.co.uk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 11:36 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: SMS in Canada? > > You should be very careful with media/ring tones if you're trying to > create/send them yourself.
