I am fairly new to SMS but I have managed to set up a nearly working system. I can send messages via the web interface directly and the system is receiving inbound messages, where I am having a problem is two-way messaging. I have set up a test command and the reply always replies with this text "Command not completed. request returned invalid content type: text/html".

here is the command

http://10.***.**.**:8800/?to_num=@@sender@@&message=@@abc@@&charset=UTF-8

SMS Command Prefix is set to UTF-8 as I have read it can have problems otherwise. I am using a Multitech GRPS modem.

this is the SMS out-log

Do I need SMPP to be set up? I am just at a wall as to what could be missing.

Any help would be great fully appreciated.

Thanks

Is your 2-way command intending to return a response back ot the sender?

If it is not, then edit the command definition and UNcheck "Command returns response text".

If it is intending to return a response, then you need to return the response as plain text (e.g., Content-type: text/plain). The following link might be helpful in this regard: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html
