Knowledge Base Articles, HTTP interface Specification.
The sending of ringtones/melodies to Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) capable
handsets requires the ringtone to be formatted in a special way within the SMS
that is sent to the mobile telephone.
The specially formatted ringtones
can be encoded in such a way as to be sent to a mobile telephone through HSL's
Advanced Services using our HTTP or SMPP SMS gateway interfaces.
A converter
application is available from Sony Ericsson that allows RTX formatted ringtones
to be converted into EMS iMelody format.
The shortmessage field of the
HTTP POST to the "submitsm" action URL should contain the string of
ASCII hexadecimal characters contained in the converted file.
