We have developed the application using a Sound recorder application which records the Live commentary and converts it into 8 bit Mono .wav files. These files are typically 10-15 seconds duration and played by the IVR in a sequence. Thus we have made a scheduler to place these 10 seconds wav files one after the other in a schedule for the IVR port to play out. It does not seem to working too well. Pls advise.

The JSR you linked to includes port numbers: "However, this Java API supports the use of port numbers to specify a Java application as the message target." and, for incomming messages, there is an example: // Get our receiving port connection. messconn = (MessageConnection) Connector.open(“sms://:6222”); And with clickatell it's also possible, altho you have to encode it yourself: http://forums.clickatell.com/index.php?topic=298.0 Altho I agree that GPRS makes more sense for most applications (especially because SMS costs up to thousands of dollars/Mb), technically both options are possible.

In the distance past (late 90s) I think it was called narrowband sockets, then the WAP forum either appropriated it (or were "inspired" by it). You can deliver messages to Java apps by using correctly addressed WAP Push messages using the push registry in MIDP 2.0 (we've done this before): http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/PushRegistry ISTR ( tho I'm not certain) that when we did this we were sending messages across carriers too - in the UK at least.
