Hello,
Background: I am looking at porting our existing WAP application to J2ME. One of the must have features is the ability to push messages to the J2ME application in a timely manner and that can interact with the midlet. Obviously the PushRegistry seems the best way to implement this. We need to be able to support as many different devices as possible (and requiring a MIDP 2.0 phone cuts it down
alot to start with) and as many carriers as possible.
My question: assuming we can convince the end users (contracted partners) to purchase MIDP 2.0 capable phones which carriers actually allow us to initiate communication from an enterprise application on the internet to a mobile device and if so what stipulations do they require for such communication (pay for public IP per device per month, limited to SMS...)
Any real world experience (pro or con) with carriers - support for inbound connections or even OTA deployment for that matter would be much appreciated.
Danny
