Video tutorial:		How to send MMS from your PC using Ozeki N (part 2/2, send a test message)

Introduction

Ozeki NG SMS Gateway can be used to send MMS messages. Each MMS message contains a text part and several attachments. Attachments can contain audio, video, applications, presentation files and text content. A detailed list of available message types for MMS messages can be found in the MMS content format list. To send MMS messages with Ozeki NG, all you have to do is specify "MMS:XML" as the message type and prepare an XML file that contains the message attachments. You can use all the methods you have used for SMS messaging.

Message type

MMS:XML

The format of the message data is:

<MMS>
  <subject>Hello world</subject>
  <messagetext>This is the message text</messagetext>
  <deliveryreport>on</deliveryreport>
  <readreport>on</readreport>
  <priority>high</priority>
  <messageclass>personal</messageclass>
  <attachments>
      <attachment>
         <filename>c:\tmp\mmsdemo.gif</filename>
      </attachment>
      <attachment>
         <filename>c:\tmp\music.mp3</filename>
      </attachment>
  </attachments>
</MMS>

Sending an MMS message

To send an MMS messages from the built in user interface, you need to copy the attachments to your hard disk, and you need to specify the full path pointing to them in the MMS composer form (Figure 1).

To send an MMS message from an API, you have to copy the attachments to the server in a directory, then you have to build an XML file, that points to the attachments. This XML should be pasted into the messagedata field of the message and you need to use the "MMS:XML" message type. For example if you use the database user to send MMS messages from a database you would use the following SQL Insert statement to send you MMS messages:

SQL example:

insert into ozekimessageout (receiver,msgtype,msg,status) values ('+36205222245',
         'MMS:XML','<MMS>
  <subject>Hello world</subject>
  <messagetext>This is the message text</messagetext>
  <deliveryreport>on</deliveryreport>
  <readreport>on</readreport>
  <priority>high</priority>
  <messageclass>personal</messageclass>
