What is Up Notify Message

UP.Notify is the precursor push technology and is supported by Openwave Mobile Browser Versions 3, 4, and 5

WAP Push is translated to UP.Notify for older Openwave handsets

Up Notify does not allow pushing to all WAP 1.2.1 Handsets(an equivalent Service Indication can be sent to Openwave WAP 1.2.1 handsets)

Prefetch3 and Alerts are the UP.Notify equivalent to WAP Push SL and SI.

Legends:

1 Service Indications are alerts with a click-able link (e.g., "You have a new email, read now?"). For SMS translation, the URL will not be click-able due to limitations of SMS. The other push defined content types do not have presentation text associated them and are thus not readily translated.

2 Service Loads are alerts that also automatically delivers the content to the handset without user interaction. It is similar to Service Indication but removes the need for the user to confirm that s/he wants to load the content. Use of Service Loads depends on the application and the desired user experience.

3 A "prefetch", also known as "pull notification", allows content to be automatically loaded in the handset cache so that the user has immediate access to the push message when viewed.
