Because i have no external IP address, could NowSMS/MMS gateway be configured so that i can send MMS in case my server is not accessible over the internet ?

For reference, please see the "How MMS Works" article at http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm.

Note that most mobile operators block MMS delivery from external MMSCs, so the issue of whether or not your server is accessible over the internet becomes a moot point.

The alternative is to send MMS messages via the operator MMSC ... which is described as approach #2 in the "How MMS Works" ... more info at http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm.
