The WAP Bookmark OTA message is only supported by few mobile phones (at the time this document was written). To send a WAP Bookmark OTA message, use the following URL format:

http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=xxxxxxxx&WAPBookmark=name.domain/path

For 127.0.0.1, please substitute the IP address or host name assigned to your gateway PC. (Note: 127.0.0.1 is a local loopback address that can be utilized when you are connecting to the gateway from the same computer.)

For 8800, please substitute the port number that the gateway is configured to use.

Substitute the phone number that you wish to send the SMS message to for the “xxxxxxxx” in the “PhoneNumber” parameter. Use either the local phone number format, or the international phone number format (your network provider may or may not allow you to send to international phone numbers). If the international phone number format is used, note that you must substitute “%2B” for the “+” character, because of URL escaping restrictions. For example, to send an SMS to +447778001210, use %2B447778001210 instead.

The URL to be pushed to the mobile device as a bookmark is specified in the “WAPBookmark” parameter. Note that the “http://” portion of the URL is not necessary and is assumed. Also note that it may be necessary to escape some URL characters, please refer to the table in the “Sending Text Messages” section for common characters that must be escaped.
