MMS pc package, which phones ?

[captainwifi]

I have a Samsung J700 using PC studio3 but I can't send an MMS using it as the icon is marked "not available for your phone". Which phones can one send an MMS using a Windows mobile phone package?

Such MMS sending can be automated using http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ windows automation. Thus if your PIR or infrared beam alarm system triggers a snapshot is taken by your webcam uploaded and triggers the windows automation script which in turn will send an MMS straight to your phone from the PC.

This is a convoluted way of doing it though. One is supposed to use a MMS gateway server. I dealt with a company who didn't want to give me the API interface saying it is "secret" and "confidential", the upshot being that house after house is being robbed since the owners can't get a realtime MMS when their alarm system triggers.

Thousands of MMS are sent everyday of people taking photos manually, by automating it a very good business and home security system can be implemented if only MTN would make the interface API freely available by giving us for example a DLL or python script which should be just as easy to use as the WGET command under Linux to pull a file of the web using HTTP. There is no need to know how http works.

Would MTN be kind enough to help me out on this whole issue ?

MIG runs a MMS gateway server but they can't help me either because the volume of MMS would be to low. Their business focus is sending thousands of MMS messages for corporate customers.

It would be easy for MTN to provide a service where the public can also use a MMS gateway server. a jpeg is emailed, ftp'd or httpd to MTN which in turn converts it to MMS format and sends it to a cellphone.

Presently the only way we the public can do this would be to run some standalone PC to which a Nokia phone with MMS capability is attached and which allows a windows app to send an image. It would involve a lot of manual clicking with a mouse which can be automated using autoit as described above.

On your alarm system being triggered a webcam takes a snapshot and ftp's it to this specific pc somewhere in South AFrica, which in turn will MMS you the intrusion event.

But this is not how I want to do it, rather have MTN provide us with a mms gateway server and python script that would allow such image uploading.
