Dear Des, When trying to send MMS to alias:12345678, it failed because it handled by gateway as below: <Recipients> <To> <ShortCode>alias:12345678</ShortCode> </To> </Recipients> While it should be: <Recipients> <To> <Number>alias:12345678</Number> </To> </Recipients> Waiting your feedback Thanks | |||

Hi Hussam, We are willing to try this. It would be much easier if this particular provider had some documentation and/or examples. I've reviewed the MMS specifications, and a recipient address of the format "alias:12345678" should be considered a short code. Here is a section of the specification that describes the 3 address formats (e-mail address, number or alphanumeric short code).
We will change the behaviour for the AllowAlphaRecip=Yes setting to use <Number> instead of <ShortCode> in this instance to see if this resolves the issue with using alias/distribution lists with this particular provider. A test version with this behaviour change has been uploaded to http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsmstestversion.zip -- Des NowSMS Support |
