Edd,
I'm pretty certain anyone who's got the actual docs
will be under NDA, so won't be officially allowed to send them to you. However,
I believe there are some similarities between T-Mobile and the O2 Broker
service. Alex Judd (on this list) is someone who might be able to add some more
to this.
For SMS, O2 themselves are SMPP, O2 Online
(their own reseller, or "broker" as they like to call it) seem to
like SOAP, Orange are SMPP and Vodafone, as Steve mentioned earlier,
used to only do SEMA2000/X.25 - but according to their website they can do
SMPP now as well.
Most of the operators that offer SMPP will insist
on a IP Sec tunnel if you're running over the internet. If you're also doing
premium services with them, as far as I know they all require you to
do SMPP via a leased line IP connection to one of their SMS
centres. The requirement isn't necessarily technical, it's more of a barrier to
entry to weed out the non-serious players.
As for MMS, it's all a little vague at the moment
:-)

Hi Steve
Hold on two secs though, SOAP, Sema
X.25 and SMPP? I thought MMS
interconnects was all about the MM7 etc?
Or am I just showing my lack
of knowledge of this?
:-)

O2 Online allow access via "The Internet", using a
proprietry SOAP
protocol. T-Mobile I think do (I know someone who
set-up their
firewall
stuff, so I think you have to VPN
it).
Voodoofone generally used to use SEMA2000/X.25 but I think
they may
have
introduced an IP connection service using SMPP (or
were going to).
