Attaching .sis files with an MMS

7 replies · 8,349 views · Started 01 June 2004

Hi.
Can anyone tell me any possible way of sending a .sis file along with an MMS. Seems like only image files and .amr apart from a couple more extensions can be attached with an MMS. When ever i try to attach a .sis file with an MMS i get the reply "Cannot send protected items". Have tried changing the file permissions and renaming thr file. Its not working. I think the problem is with the MIME types. Do anyone have an idea how do i change my MIME types so as to be able to attach the .sis file with my MMS and send it.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi jojo
Thanks for the solution. But the problem remains. Actually my network dont connect to the tagtag server. And the url you gave leads ti a site that asks for registration because the download link was disabled when i tried to download the application. MMS IT its the same one right. And when i tried to register somehow or the other it got rejected guess some field or the other was filed wrong. I even tried some of the on line greek english dictionary. I know its too much to ask but copuld you please E-Mai me the software. I gues you are a greek or familiar with it. My email id is [email][/email].

Will be really grateful to you.

I am pretty sure that i read that the newest versions of the 6600 firmware are unable to send .sis or .jar out of the phone that they are in, "for protection" reasons. I might be wrong.

there are a lot of freeware SIS files I dont understand why its for "protection"
reasons! i keep on sending SIS and JAr files using ZIPMAN application

dont post youe EMAIL address here, spammers are every-where!!!!
thanks to mods, they kept your address secret! there are PMs for this reason

mms_it is the greek freeware, but u can use ZIPMAN too: www.wildpalm.co.uk

There are filebrowsers available for 6600 for free, install that and change the sis file extension to something else. Send it by anymeans to other phone and there change it back to sis. You can even install it with wrong extension.

Wrong...
Renaming a .mid to .amr will not allow me to send the file in a MMS..
The file still is recognized as a midi and is played like one..
