We are a dispatch software for a verticle market. We can now send calls to pagers(one way) or two way to MDT's such as @Road. We want to develop two way (return can messages or numeric values) via cell phone and Nextel. We have been getting mixed messages as to the best solution WAP or SMS.
The one important aspect is it needs to be quick 30sec to a min or so. What is your opinion?

SMS (Short Message Service) has the majority of the market. WAP is relatively new, and still not-standardized.

Also remove the space embedded in the word "wireless" from the link included in my comment if you paste the link into your browser.
