Simple OTA for Nokia devices

OTA - Setup Simplicity

Configuration of VoIP settings on mobile devices is a barrier to takeup of VoIP services on mobiles. aql® have 6 years of experience in over the air (OTA) configuration of Nokia handsets.



Unique keyword - Unique service

aql® can provide a simple programmatic API and also an autoresponder keyword on our highly memorable shortcode 64446. Users texting this keyword will receive your VoIP account setup details.

Each configuration message is charged at the rate of 6 text message credits at our premium(uk) message rate - for more information on our text messaging services please see aql.com, or contact us to discuss in more detail.




Further Information

Use an HTTP request to generate and send a custom over the air VoIP configuration message

Specify your OTA message and send it using HTTP POST.
Our system will create the OTA message and transmit it to it's destination.

This API has been tested to work with the following handsets :

Nokia E60
Nokia E61
Nokia E70
Nokia N80i

More recent Nokia handsets should also function as per expected, though these have not been tested extensively by ourselves.
