To whom It may concern:

I would like to know if I can track the sms incoming plus either deny or allow outgoing.

Office is concerned that if someone writes a script and runs many times from a phone. It will cost to send and receive sms. Can you tell me if nowsms can deal with this problem. How can we deny outgoing if there are a specific number of sms incoming from the same number?

Thank you for your help,

Hi,

I'd need to know more about how you are using NowSMS in order to properly answer your question.

I assume that you have a 2-way script that is processing received messages.

NowSMS does not have any controls to limit the number of times any particular phone number can send in to your script. If you have a concern for limiting the number of responses that your script generates to a particular number, then your script would have to maintain its own database to do so. If you detect that you do not want to reply, then just return an emtpy HTTP 200 OK response (no text) to indicate that no reply should be sent.

I am a re-seller of SMS and I am using NOWSMS. I want to give my clients an automated system that allow them to send SMSs without going to the web interface to send the message each time. They can make their program send out a text file with the information they want to send. How can I take this text file, read its contents and have NOWSMS send it automatically to numbers within that text file??
PLEASE reply soon.

Hi Stephen,

The command line interface example in the following thread might give you some ideas:
