[thelist] WAP gateway UP.Link

[Steve Cook]

Hi Lez,

most probably not would be my guess, though there are various factors that
affect the answer (phone model, gateway on the telco's end etc.). As far as
I know, the only working method for providing mobile push services at the
moment is to use SMS.

You can read more about this at the Wireless FAQ here - 
http://allnetdevices.com/faq/?pair=04.060
or try a search in the archive for my mailing list such as
http://www.wap-dev.net/archive/search.php?keywords=push

I hope this helps.
