GSM & GPRS
[1/4] from: andre:arach:au at: 22-Apr-2003 23:48
Hi All
I'm new to the list & to REBOL.
Does REBOL support any of the Mobile network protocols.
eg. SMS on GSM system, MMS & WAP over GPRS ?
What about BLUETOOTH ?
I understand REBOL CORE has most internet protocols built in.
Could I use REBOL as a scripting language for a Mobile Portal Web Site.

As I understand it, SMS, GSM, MMS, GPRS and WAP are only relevant to the
phone company itself as they're protocols used on the cell phone network. Same
goes for WAP (though you can ask if REBOl supports WML and as WML is just
a markup language, the answer is yes).

Rebol has no BlueTooth support and it really does not matter. I mean, the
OS Having BT support seems to be enough, no?

I would like to send SMS, MMS from the desktop via the phone connected to it.
The connection may be IrComm, Serial/USB Cable or Bluetooth.
What I trying to find out is if an API exist for this that REBOL can call on.

You are correct here & I do understand WML would be supported indirectly.
I include WAP in the sense of connection & delivery not in regard to building pages.
Thanks again
Any further info from anyone would be grateful

I got as far as downloading the developer docs from Nokia,
but never got to the point of purchasing an sms capable
Nokia phone :(
