SMS and MMS Toolkit - MmsProtocolMm7 object

Overview

The MmsProtocolMm7 object provides functionality to connect to an MMS provider over an HTTP/SOAP connection and deliver an MMS message.

To be able to connect to an MMSC provider, you need a subscription to an MM7 compliant MMS provider.

The SmsProtocolHttp object is part of the ActiveXperts SMS and MMS Toolkit component. Overview of all SMS and MMS Toolkit objects:

  • SmsProtocolGsm - Send and receive SMS messages using a GSM modem or a modem-capable GSM phone.
  • SmsProtocolSmpp - Send and receive SMS messages via an SMPP provider.
  • SmsProtocolHttp - Send (bulk) SMS messages through an SMS/HTTP compliant SMS provider over the internet/VPN.
  • SmsProtocolDialup - Send SMS messages using a normal Hayes compatible modem (1200 bps or higher).
  • MmsProtocolMM1 - Send and receive MMS messages via a GPRS modem through WAP (wireless application protocol).
  • MmsProtocolMM4 - Send MMS messages via an SMTP server. The protocol is based on SMTP, messages are MIME encoded.
  • MmsProtocolMM7 - Send and receive MMS messages via SOAP/XML using HTTP as the transport protocol.
  • PagerProtocolSnpp - Send pager messages via an SNPP provider through the internet/VPN.

' MmsSlide: Add duration, attachments(s) and text(s)
objMmsSlide.Clear()

objMmsMessage.AddRecipient( "+4412345678",objConstants.asMMS_RECIPIENT_TO) ' MMS recipient ( phonenumbers or e-mail)
    
' MmsMessage: Add slide
objMmsMessage.AddSlide( objMmsSlide )                            ' Add slide to the message; you can add multiple slides
   
' MMS Connection: Set provider settings
