Hi, Is the message being received repeatedly? Or was it received several times? If it is being received repeatedly (and will not stop), this indicates that the modem interface will not allow the message to be deleted. Unfortunately, the GSM modem implementation in many phones can be buggy, especially when it comes to receive support. NowSMS expects to be able to read a message and then delete it. If the delete fails, the next time NowSMS scans for messages, it will read the message again. I'd be curious to see an SMSDEBUG.LOG showing the message being received to see if there is a problem in NowSMS that we may be overlooking. (Enable SMSDEBUG.LOG using the checkbox on the "Serial #" page of the configuration.) However, unfortunately, I suspect it is a bug in the modem implementation in that phone. When both send and receive support are required, it is generally better to use a dedicated modem device (e.g., USB stick modem) instead of a phone with modem capabilities. Some discussions of specific USB stick modems can be found here: http://www.nowsms.com/tag/usb-modem -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't know what to recommend. The modem won't allow the message to be deleted. (It responds to the AT+CMGD=4 command with the following error: +CME ERROR:2043 That is an undocumented "manufacturer specific" error.) The fact that the modem will not allow the message to be deleted is a big problem. I do have a theory about what the modem bug might be. If you have access to a terminal program that could be used to send commands to the modem (PuTTY is a good one ... http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/), then I would be curious what responses you get back from the modem if you issue the following commands: AT+CMGF=0 AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME" AT+CMGL=0 AT+CMGD=4 The first two command should respond OK. The third command should return the stuck message, like in your SMSDEBUG.LOG: +CMGL:4,1,,21 07912205979348F4240B912245088477F4000011601240942400024135 I am curious if the fourth command still returns an error, or if in this case it returns OK. Sorry that I don't have any easier suggestions ... there's definitely a bug in the modem firmware, it is just a question of whether or not we can guess a way to work around the problem (or switch to a different modem). -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Hi Samir, If you are experiencing the exact same problem, no there is not. In this particular case, the GSM modem implementation in the mobile phone was broken, refusing to allow a message to be deleted. Perhaps a firmware update for the device would fix the problem. That said, if you using a different modem than the other person who posted here, then I would like to see an SMSDEBUG.LOG to confirm the same problem. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Follow-up ... as I posted that reply, I did think of one other possible solution. Try manually editing the SMSGW.INI file (located in ProgramData\NowSMS ... or if running on Windows XP, in Program Files\NowSMS). Under the section header for your modem (example [Modem - your modem name]), add ProcessReadMessages=No This setting changes some behaviour about how received messages are read from the modem. However, this may only be a temporary fix, because if NowSMS attempts to delete messages fail on too many messages, the modem will run out of memory and not be able to accept any more messages. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

If you would like assistance, please post an SMSDEBUG.LOG, similar to what I requested of the other person who posted in this thread. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Hi formensh, Your SMSDEBUG.LOG only shows the message being processed once. One reply being sent. Did you receive that particular reply more than once? I had assumed you were using a modem to send out messages, which can be more problems than with SMPP like you are using. I do notice that your SMPP provider is terminating your SMPP connection every 5-6 seconds, which is a very low interval. To prevent this problem, you should try setting the "keep-alive interval" to 3 seconds under "Advanced Settings" for the SMPP connection in NowSMS. (Press OK/OK/Apply after making this configuration change to make sure it is applied.) If you have another example where the message was received multiple times, can you post another SMSDEBUG.LOG showing this? -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

thanks very much ! the problem is partialy solved because i'm receiving sms with loosed caracters like '????SOLDE' and the submitted message is split in 2 parts on my CDMA phone. I guest it can be charset problem. What's the CDMA default charset?

Under "Advanced Settings" of the SMPP connection in NowSMS, try changing the SMSC character set to iso-8859-1. Before you do that ... try sending the text you want to send from the NowSMS web interface first. I'm guessing you're trying to send the word "Aoþt". By default, NowSMS assumes you have encoded your text in utf-8 format. It looks like you are using iso-8859-1. Add &charset=iso-8859-1 to tell NowSMS what character you are using. That said, the "þ" character is likely to cause problems. NowSMS supports iso-8859-1 output via SMPP, but NowSMS assumes that actual over the air SMS messages will use either the GSM or Unicode character sets. When NowSMS sees the "þ" character, it will decide that this character is not in the GSM character set, and therefore must be sent out using Unicode encoding. Unicode messages have shorter message size limits, which is why you see two messages being sent out. Stick to the characters in the GSM alphabet for best results.
