SMS and MMS Toolkit - MmsProtocolMm4 object

Overview

The MmsProtocolMm4 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 MM4 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).
