Nokia Ringtone and Logo SMS's - please help!

[Xenonic_Rob]

Hi guys, your fellow VB and ASP developer Xenonic Rob here. I just have a question. Sites like YourMobile.com can send ringtones all over the world, and they send them in a special format called OTA (Over-The-Air), which are actually Binary SMS Messages. Now this has been puzzling me - does anyone know how this works, and does anyone know whether it would be possible to write a program to convert it, so you could simply paste it into ICQ and send it as an SMS message?

Anyone?!

Hi,
I am planning to write a similar apps, and looking for information like you. I found that there is already a program available. Its called logo manager and its a really cool program. You can design Ringtone, Graphics, Logo in your pc and send it to any phones(nokia) using Cables or OTA. I personlly used it and its brilliant. You can dload an evaluation version from here.

Hope this helps.

Danial - I appreciate what you are saying, but the whole point of my program would be like an ICQ plug-in - so you would send the binary SMS message from the computer (like ICQ does...). The whole point was that I wouldn't need to use cables or IRPorts etc. Any other ideas? I do appreciate what you've said though, but It was not quite what I was looking for ;-)

I'm currently writing an SMS app, and the way I'm doing it is filling in fields on Web Pages, such as those offered by Excite or SMSBoy. I have no idea how to do what you're looking for.
