G'day,
this question is three part..

(i) We want to find best price WAP PUSH service that we could use to
cover the Major/most Mobile carriers in USA.

(ii) We need to setup a US sms number to recieve SMS's. We need a
reliable provider for best price!! (naturally)

(iii) Besides going to mobile carriers, who are the best distributors
for supplying products/acessories into Mobile phone stores (cellular
stores). E.g Brightpoint is Major us supplier of accesories to
cellular stores.

Clarification of Question by gabi7-ga on 30 May 2003 14:53 PDT

Let me clarify this question...I can make it easier by saying not to
worry about the (iii) part as much.

Mainly the following:

(I) In US there are many many carriers, I'm just trying to cover for
now the main 5 Sprint, Nextel, Att+t (gsm/wireless), Cingular and
Verizon. What I have to be able to send to users on these carriers are
WAP PUSHES's. A WAP PUSH is kind of like a "Bookmark" sms, where the
user will recieve a link so to speak where he can open and retrieve
and be able to download content that I am serving. Not all SMS
providers have WAP PUSH  gateway or cover major carriers in US (since
US market is so fragmented). So what I want to find is service
provider(s) that will be able to send these WAP PUSHES to US Carriers
listed above for a reasonable price! (They don't necessarily have to
be in US)

(II) Setup an incoming SMS Number: We want to be able to recieve SMS
messages from our users on these five carriers in US, so we are
looking for a reliable SMS Number provider that can set us up with a
local US number. They generally provide an SDK or protocol for
accessing messages through HTTPS/SMTP/TCIP on our server. We are
looking for a reliable and affordable one in US.

 
 I hope I made it clearer, feel free to ask if you have any questions
or need further clarification!

Cheers

Gabi
