Hi, Can you show me exactly what you are receiving? Where are you receiving it? (On the phone, as an SMS in NowSMS, other?) If "Receive MMS" is enabled for the modem connection, then NowSMS should recognise the binary SMS as an MMS notification and initiate a data connection to retrieve the MMS message content. The simplest way for me to help you is if you enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG (checkbox option on "Serial #" page). Then send another MMS message in to the modem. Reply with the resulting SMSDEBUG.LOG attached so that I can see what your NowSMS installation is seeing. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Ah ... the problem is that you are using a mobile phone as a modem. A mobile phone cannot be used as a modem for receiving MMS messages. The MMS client in the mobile phone gets in the way and grabs the message so that it is never delivered over the GSM modem interface. (Sometimes with SonyEricsson phones, one or two MMS notifications will sneak through, but this is not reliable.) To receive MMS, you need a dedicated GSM modem device. There is some more information here: http://www.nowsms.com/support/GSMModem.htm | ||||

The good news is that the binary SMS is being interpreted as an MMS notification ... and we are trying to retrieve the MMS message content, but it is not working. To troubleshoot this further, I need to know what mobile operator you are connecting to and what the MMS settings are that you are using. Enabling the MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG and sending me that will help me see what settings you are using and what is happening on your system. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

The MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG is enabled by an additional checkbox setting on the "Serial #" page. Send in another MMS message to your modem, then post both the SMSDEBUG.LOG and MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG. Also post your SMSGW.INI so that I can see your configuration.
If you disconnect the modem and then reconnect it, while the configuration program is running, this may confuse the configuration program. The NowSMS service constantly scans for modems that get disconnected and reconnected, but the configuration program does not. Exit the configuration program, and then go back into it, and everything should be fine.
Yes, multiple modems can be connected. We have not tested with the ZTE MF646 (I don't know where we could buy one) ... but we have had good experience with other ZTE modems, so it would probably work. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Hi Jobert, Sorry for the delay in response. We have had technical problems on our web site. If you have multiple modems installed, go to the "SMSC" list in NowSMS, and set a "Phone Number" property for each modem. When you receive a message, NowSMS will use this "Phone Number" property to tell you which modem received the message. When you send a message, you can specify a "Sender" address to tell which modem should be used to send the message. (The "Sender" property is not available on the NowSMS web form when you send an SMS message, but you can include it in URL parameters when submitting via a direct URL by including "&Sender=xxxx" in the URL.) The following link talks about how to route a message to a specific modem when there are more than one: http://blog.nowsms.com/2008/07/routing-sms-messages-to-specifc-smsc.html -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||
