Can I send ringtones with the SMS Software Development Kit?

Can I send ringtones with the SMS Software Development Kit?

Your application can send ringtones with the SMS Software Development Kit and the Simplewire Wireless Messaging Network.

While we will be adding in even easier methods to send ringtones, you can currently send a ringtone in "binary" format. Once you have this "binary" format, you set the Message Text (MsgText) field in your SMS Software Development Kit to it. You then can send ringtones from your application.

However, constructing a "binary" format for your ringtone is different across all phone manufacturers. For example, Nokia has a different binary format than Ericsson or Motorola. You will need to search the web for more information on what each format needs to be.

Also, "binary" format is not the same as AT commands OR RTTTL. In fact, you will need to use the AT commands or the RTTTL to construct your "binary" format. There are resources and information all over the web that will show you how to convert RTTTL or AT commands into the correct "binary" format.
