accessing and changing user data header in java smslib

I have used java smslib api to send an sms from pc to mobile using a gsm modem. I wanted to know if it is possible to send images and short audio clips through sms using this. I have heard that by changing the user data header of the message, this can be done.

Am I going on the right track? if yes, how do I proceed with this since i am new to java programming.

I have gone through many links specifying the user data header. but I haven't come accross how to access this header.

any kind of help will be appreciated. thanks

  • You need to send an MMS. smslib.org specifically says that it doesn't support MMS.

    An MMS is not the same as an ordinary SMS - it's sent over an HTTP/WAP connection. So you can't just manipulate an SMS header and get an MMS.

    You could look at JSR 205, it supports MMS.
