What is WAP Push?

WAP Push is a way of delivering content (e.g. images, ringtones, etc.) to mobile phones that are WAP enabled. With a WAP Push message you don't actually send the content in the text message - you specify a URL in the WAP Push message so that the mobile phone can download it directly.

Please note that newer phones such as the iPhone and Android can not receive WAP Push messages. If you need to send a URL to these handsets we recommend sending a normal SMS messages as these types of handsets will automatically make the link 'clickable'.
