MMS Inbox?

Paks
13
Hi there,
I was wondering what's the best way to set up a "MMS inbox" on a server?
Is a MMSC the solution or what? I'm just getting confused here, hehe.

What I would like is to set up a MMS-adress for our video community site, where the mobile users can send their MMS:s with video-attachments.
And from this inbox extract the video and save it in our mySQL database.

Do anyone know how to do this? Unfortunately I've never had the need too work with MMS earlier, so I've got no experience with this... :(

So to sum it up:
How do you go about to create a MMS-adress for a server?
Which can receive MMS-messages from mobile devices.


Thankful for any help!
I've been staring myself blind on this problem.

I think MMS messages can be sent to email addresses. Have you done any testing with a mobile service carrier to see what their features are?

I'm sorry I missed your reply.

After many failed attempts with a open source MMSC with only
half their source code shared on their CVS and trial periods
of commercial products without APIs and only GUI support.

I decided to check out the possibily of sending mms to email and saw that it worked. Unfortunatly there where app. 6 fewer mobile models (in Sweden) that supported both MMS and email. But I talked to my thesis supervisor and he was alright with it.

So now I'm implementing a MMS to email-inbox solution and hoping it will all work out.

The main problem I can see right now is wheter or not my mail-provider will allow 3gp attachments and not delete them upon receiving.
The weird thing is that it doesn't delete 3gp-files sent via mail from a PC.

Thanks for your reply :)

Would have been great to find your answer earlier on, because it could have saved me some valuable time but "que sera, sera" :P
