Yes. OK. Why not. But put it somehwere down the roadmap, since currently it is technically not required to support this. How many MMS capable devices are out that cannot handle SIP in any way and stlll work and will work in future. For "getting MMS somehow to work" we can just do as they do. SIP based communication in an IMS network is still (mostly) future. Most important things first.

The device receives notification in the form of SMS and/or IP pushes (or other means). It sends messages and other PDU by doing HTTP POST (and not PUSH, you are right). And it retrieves message content by doing HTTP GET.

For writing an MMS client it is therefor necessary to get access to binary SMS and do not make them appear in the normal SMS inbox (useability requirement). And we must be able to get IP access to the MMSC. This was found out by other participants before.

Sorry, this was possibly lax quoting. As *you* told GRX is for inter MMSC operation. I just stated that *you* were right. But I also stated that while you are right, mentioning GRX in "MMS device support" adds no technical requiremnts for the MMS client.

For example the typical high-level use-case of MMS delivery in roaming:

What I meant is, that if we get a MMS client working that behaviour likes the specification requires we can assume that providers will not block out devices with our client installed. They may block users/SIM cards because of user belonging to foreign provicers and other reasons, but that are different stories.

Please let us not discuss about thinks that do not directly help for the next step (even if they are correct and true). The next step is above cited problems:

Getting access to the SMS and getting IP access to the MMSC.

If that is not solved everything else is not important anymore :-/ Sadly I cannot help with that. I can help writing the actual client though if it ever comes to that.
