To send a Nokia Group Icon, you must have a hex string value for an OTA Bitmap, as defined by the Nokia Smart Messaging specification. The hex string format represents two characters for each binary byte of OTA Bitmap data. Documentation of the OTA Bitmap data format is beyond the scope of this document.

For those who wish to send Nokia Group icons programmatically via the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, note that this form includes the following hidden fields which are included as URL parameters when submitting the message to the server:

UDH = 06050415831583

PID = 0

DCS = F7

JavaScript in the HTML form adds the hex string “30” to the beginning of the OTA Bitmap string and submits it as the “Data” parameter in the URL.
