how do i specify a SMPP service_type? i understand this is a per-message thing, but my provider requires it to be set. btw, where are the full list of .ini file settings that aren't in the UI? are they not documented for a reason? don't get me wrong, this is a great product...just sometime it's hard to find the "undocumented" settings. | |||

Hi Steve, If you send an e-mail to nowsms@now.co.uk, I can reply back with an update to NowSMS that allows the SMPP service_type value to be specified. Note that this setting is a global "per connection" setting, and not a "per message" setting at this time. As for the INI file documentation, well I could give you one of two answers ... 1.) Some people have a tendency to try every possible INI setting without understanding what they mean. As many of the undocumented/semi-documented settings are very specialised, it can make troubleshooting problems more difficult when people are using settings that they do not understand. We prefer to recommend these specialised settings only when we are certain that they will address an issue specific to an installation. 2.) We've been working so hard on updates that we haven't had the time to go back and write up a document that describes every possible setting. There's probably a bit of truth in both of the above explanations. Most of the settings do get described in the readme files that accompany new releases, although I will admit that a few do seem to get missed. -bn | |||

Hi Steve, A follow-up ... NowSMS v5.50 supports the setting of the SMPP "Service Type" parameter. It is only settable on a "per connection" basis, and not on a "per message" basis. Details on this setting can be found in the current release notes for the v5.50 beta at http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/53/3291.html. However, if you are trying to set the service type for sending WAP push and MMS notifications in a CDMA environment, I would recommend that you not use the "ServiceType" setting, but instead we have added a setting called "WDPAdaptation" that should be used:
