I'm using nokia 6610 to send and receive messages. Text messages works fine. But when i try to send picture messages, it didn't work. the gateway read in the message but can't seems to process correctly.

The SMS-IN folder is empty.

I have turn on the debug flag in smsgw.ini and below are the logs when picture message is received:
17:19:08:599 [2] ModemReceiveMessages:
+CMGL: 68,0,,1
000A

OK

17:19:08:599 [2] ModemReceiveMessages: Decoding received message index 68 from message storage ME
17:19:08:619 [2] ModemReceiveMessages: SMSC address len = 0

17:19:08:619 [2] ModemReceiveMessages: Sender Address =

Alim,

You are using the Nokia 6610 as your modem?

Generally, if you are using a mobile phone as your modem, you will not be able to receive MMS messages as the MMS client on the mobile phone will intercept the SMS messages related to MMS notification, and the messages will never be presented over the modem interface.

That said, what you are seeing in the log is odd. The modem is indicating that it has received an SMS message that is obviously in an invalid format.

In any event, if you're using a mobile phone as the GSM modem, I would expect to be able to send MMS messages (subject to firewall issues), but not receive MMS messages. You need a dedicated GSM modem device in order to be able to receive MMS messages with the gateway.
