TuftyTrue has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I've been playing with Device::GSM and a Falcom Samba 75 mobile phone modem (great fun!)

BUT.... Can't work out a way to recieve MMS's (it supports it, so does my SIM and texts work fine).

Anyone have an example of code to extract MMS's from a GSM modem device?

Praying for a good answer!

Regards

      Hi AM,

      Thanks for the quick reply - the code you gave is exactly the code I use to sucessfully get SMS/text messages from my GSM device, BUT, it does not get the MMS messages that the device has recieved - thats my problem :(

      Has anyone managed to get an MMS from a GSM device,and how?

      Still Praying....

        If I understand your question like this: How can I read a received MMS from my mobile device' storage? then I suggest to have a look at OBEX and OBEXFTP.

        With another obexFTP tool, I managed to browse through the directory system of my mobiles SIM- and memory-card via USB and was able to up-/download files. So the approach should work in principle, although I've never done that using Perl. Since your mobile might have its own directory structure, exploring it with obexftp (they claim to have a Perl language binding) could be a first step.

        Here is the openobex Wiki. Good luck.
