Help Me Humpa

Humpa,

My 8600 e-mails fine when the address is placed in the "To:" field when sending an mms message. No number is required, of course, just the email@domain.com

But on the VX7000, while it will send to the server if you list any number in that field, e.g. "222" it won't send it if you list an e-mail address. It just says "Connecting..." forever.

When listing destination 1 as "222" and destination 2 as email@domain.com you simply get it uploaded to the server, no e-mail is sent.

Any ideas? Or is this just a reality with that phone, perhaps?

I'm not sure.
I'd have to see a raw mms message sent from that phone - which might be hard since it won't send if there is an email in there. Wink

What happens if you put in your phone's 10digit number in the to field? Do you have your mms server set up so that it will append the @vzwpix.com to the end of a 10digit number?

Humpa,

Sorry to take so long to get back at you. Because the phones (VX7000's) are all in the hands of other family members it's not that easy to experiment and test.

I managed to send three successfully this afternoon from one of the 7000's, using BOTH a number string and the email address...on separate lines, of course. Also sent one with just the e-mail address on a single line. Of course, that also leaves a copy on the server the way I have it configured.

When two addresses are entered on separate lines...like a "222" on the first line, and email@domain.com on the second...
...is the second line disregarded by SEND.PHP?

Obviously, the phone wants something in at least one of those lines. It appears a standard e-mail address works to put it on the server, too.

I'm beginning to think my original problem has NOTHING to do with scripts or phone firmware. Embarassed

This may be all about signal quality. For some reason, the VX7000 shows NO BARS for 1X (it's not an EV-DO model) half the time and three bars intermittently. Mad

The 8600 is showing a solid 4 bars at 1X and 3 bars EVDO. Go figure.

This is a nice way to forward e-mails without having to pay the fee...letting SENDMAIL on the server do the work.

Thanks...

Razz

The send.php should see every address in the To field of the MMS message - it should see the address from each line that you entered on the phone. But if it isn't an email address, and if it isn't a 10digitnumber, then whatever was on that one particular line of the To addreess will simply be ignored. The 10digitnumber might be ignored too - but that depends on what you set that variable to in the humpa_mms config.php.

Each phone is different - but no matter what option you use, the MMS message goes to the send.php. For example, some phones have an option that says "send to Pix Place" or "send as message". That doesn't affect anything at all though - the MMS message is identical, except the phone will put in a special address in the To field when you choose the "send to Pix Place" option, so the Verizon MMS server knows that it is supposed to go in the person's Pix Place account. But since we change our MMS Server url, it no longer goes to the Verizon MMS server, but instead goes to the humpa_mms send.php. But I think you are already aware of this. Wink
