Hi Omar, It looks like there is a typo in the MMS server address that is confusing things. Syntactically, the following is not correct: http:/mms/servlets/mms It needs two slashes ... e.g., http://mms/servlets/mms I don't know if that is the only problem in your configuration, but it's definitely a problem. If this does not resolve your problem, please advise what settings you are using for the MMSC connection, and what mobile operator you are connecting to. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||||

Hi Omar, Unfortunately it is not possible to use a phone as a modem to receive MMS messages. They can send only, as the MMS client in the mobile phone will intercept the message and not forward it over the modem interface. Most Nokia phones also have limitations that block receiving SMS as well. The alternative is a dedicated GSM modem device. Please follow the FAQ link on our web site and you will find more information under the "GSM Modem" link. -- Des | |||||

Thanks Des, I checked the GSM Modems that are available,but I got lost in choosing the best one. Can you help me in this? Note: The modem I need for sending and receiving SMS and MMS. | |||||

Personally I like the Option ICON 322. If you can get that or a similar model (I've also used their 225 and 452 models which are very similar). | |||||

Hi Omar, Yes. The easiest way is to edit VASPOUT\outboundRouteName\VASP.INI. Under the [VASP] header, add: ForceBCC=Yes -- Des NowSMS Support | |||||

HI, Is there a way to process the incoming MMS like what we can do in SMS like send a reply or save the below data in DB: Message-type: m-retrieve-conf Transaction-id: 0120000068218100112101224001 MMS-version: 1.0 To: 00971503838691/TYPE=PLMN From: +971558893422/TYPE=PLMN Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 06:12:24 GMT Delivery-report: No Message-class: Personal Message-id: 011210122497100101281 Message-size: 28323 Priority: normal Read-reply: No Subject: FW: hi Content-type: application/vnd.wap.multipart.related; type=application/smil; start=<4B4C0F8C.smil> X-NowMMS-Content-Location: 4B4C1D39\4B4C0F8C.smil X-NowMMS-Content-Location: 4B4C1D39\uae36.jpg X-NowMMS-Content-Location: 4B4C1D39\4B4C0F8C.txt | |||||

Hi Omar, Processing a received MMS message is more complicated because there can be multiple objects in the message. SMS messages are much simpler, so it is easy to pass all of the details about a received SMS message via command line or URL parameters. There are 3 ways to handle processing received MMS messages with NowSMS: 1.) The file/directory based interface. This involves your application scanning the MMS-IN directory for newly received messages, in a format similar to what is shown above. Each MMS message has a ".hdr" file that contains the message header information. It then also includes one or more "X-NowMMS-Content-Location:" headers which point to file components that are part of the MMS message. Instead of running all the time and scanning the MMS-IN directory for new messages, there is also a configuration setting in NowSMS that can run a command-line program or script whenever a new MMS message is received. Under the [SMSGW] header, add ReceiveMMSCallback=xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is a local executable command or an HTTP URL. A replaceable variable named @@Filename@@ can be included to specify the name of the header file (in the MMS-IN directory) for the received MMS message. 2.) MM7 is the standard MMS format for applications, using XML/SOAP over HTTP POST. NowSMS can be configured to route received MMS messages to an MM7 receiver application. 3.) There is also a PHP interface where NowSMS can pass all of the message details to a PHP script. This interface is described at the following link: http://www.nowsms.com/download/php2waymms.pdf The scripts described in that document can be downloaded here: http://www.nowsms.com/download/php2waymms.zip --- To send a response back for a received MMS message, it is necessary to send a new message submission to the NowSMS server. Any of the SMS or MMS sending APIs can be used for this: http://www.nowsms.com/support/api.htm -- Des NowSMS Support | |||||

Hi Des, Thanks for the help. I have 2 issues: 1.I configured the 2ways MMS with asp.net language but I'm not receiving the values of MMSfrom,MMSSubject etc,please check the attached file for details. 2.I bought iCON 505 USB modem,and is working fine but sometimes the sms is saved in the SIM card not in nowms IN then I have to disconnect the modem and connect it again. Do you have any idea bout this? Thanks

Hi Omar, 1. The "MMSSubject" field is being set. This interface uses "HTTP file upload" encoding ... MIME type "multipart/form-data". In this encoding, each form parameter, such as "MMSSubject", gets encoded as a separate part of the MIME multipart. I'm not sure how ASP handles "multipart/form-data". We've tried in the past to find examples, but have never been successful. That's why we only have a PHP example. If you can point me to an example, I might be able to help. Regarding the missing "MMSFrom", make sure that in the "MMSC Routing" definition, "Allow Sender Address Override" must be checked. 2. What do you mean by "saved in the SIM card"? Do you mean that the Option modem software is displaying the message, and NowSMS never sees it? Or do you mean something else? What configuration setting do you have for "SMS Message Storage" under "Properties" of the modem in the "SMSC" list? What version of NowSMS? -- Des NowSMS Support | |||||

Hi Des, 1.I decomposed the mmsreceive into two steps: a.Saving the parameters such as MMSSubject,MMSfrom, b.Saving the images in directory but in first step I'm getting empty string for MMSSubject and MMSFrom you can check the attached file mmstest.rar I previously attached it in the previous post. and thsi what I wrote in my script: Dim mmsfrom As String = Request.QueryString("MMSFrom") Dim mmssubject As String = Request.QueryString("MMSSubject") 2.Yes NowSMS is not seeing the SMS. SMS Message Storage I'm putting "Default" | |||||

Hi Des, One more information I can give that I tried PHP scripy you provided it worked fine then I have no any problem in my configuration but don't know why I'm egtting NULL values for MMSSubject,MMSfrom when using asp.net and this why I wrote in asp.net page Dim mmsfrom As String = Request.QueryString("MMSFrom") Dim mmssubject As String = Request.QueryString("MMSSubject") | |||||

Hi Omar, 1.) The issue is that you aren't supposed to mix query strings with "multipart/form-data". When a web page has a form for submitting/uploading one or more files, the form data gets encoded as separate MIME parts using "multipart/form-data" encoding. The ASP function Request.QueryString is looking for URL request parameters. There are 3 different ways for posting form data using HTTP. 1.) URL request parameters (example url/path?variable1=value1&variable2=value2) This is waht Request.QueryString looks for. 2.) Simple HTTP post ... or MIME type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". This format is similar to #1, except that the parameters are in the body of the HTTP POST instead of in the URL itself. 3.) HTTP file upload ... or MIME type "multipart/form-data". The problem is ... I don't know of any methods for interpreting "multipart/form-data" from ASP. NowSMS has to use "multipart/form-data" because it needs to upload the files that are part of the MMS message. Do you have a way to access the files that are part of the MMS from ASP? If yes, how do you do it? Maybe there are some related methods that can be used for accessing other form variables. If no, then this is a bigger problem/issue with using ASP than not being able to access "MMSFrom" or "MMSSubject". That is why I don't recommend ASP for this. 2. I still do not understand. NowSMS is not seeing the SMS. But are you seeing this SMS somewhere else? Where? -- Des NowSMS Support | |||||

Hi, I am sending MMS using MM1 to nowsms. I am doing HTTP POST of the MMS PDU(text encoding). I am getting following response from nowsms-smsc <HTML><HEAD><TITLE> Unknown Request </TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1> Unknown request: content type is unknown </H1></BODY></HTML> with HTTP 500 error. Is text encoding not supported by nowsms? | |||||
| Des - NowSMS Support Board Administrator Username: Desosms Post Number: 2318 Registered: 08-2008 |
Hi, Text PDU encoding for MM1 is definitely not supported. It is not formally s pecified in any specification, only binary. If you want to use a text based encoding, use MM7, or process your text MM1 t hrough the MMSCOMP command line utility. -- Des | |||||
