content to mobiles?

[Yanhead]

Would anyone have any idea on what kit or backend is involved in a site delivering content to mobile phones? ringtones & wallpapers etc.

Thanks

I don't know much about sending it yourself, but there are a few websites that offer white label content for your website. I'll give you the addresses if your interested (once i've found them!).

Also, if your're interested, the the fonetastic network (http://www.fonetastic.net/) offers free white label sms sending, but it does bombard the user with adverts and doesn't look professional on your site.

A better option to this may be TextAnywhere (www.TextAnywhere.net). They have a range of services but charge 5p per message. This can be subsidised by PPC or PPM adverts though.

still learning but basically.....
^ http://www.blah.blah/~~~.~ are not real URLs in this instance but must be in order for your content to work.

you need to use a .gcd for(.jpg .gif .png .mid .qcd) or .jad for(.jar)

Content-Type: audio/vnd.qcelp
Content-Name: Down
Content-Version: 1.0
Content-Vendor: Sonik enterprizes
Content-URL: http://www.blah.blah/Down.qcp
Content-Size: 1139

the example points to content-type(mime definition) Down.qcp ~ located at the url ^ http://www.blah.blah/Down.qcp ~ matching the exact size 1139 bytes.

it then adds the info vendor 'Sonik enterprizes' version number '1.0' and name 'Down' to the content once on the mobile.

set these .gcd .jad files as your would a normal .mp3 .exe to be downloaded, simple links on your website ie. ^ http://www.blah.blah/Down.gcd
