Hello,

It seems I can't get 2-way SMS to work. What my common sense tells me from this log, it can't get the sender's GSM number from the phone:

20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: Decoding received message index 1 from message storage SM
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: SMSC address len = 7
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: SMSC Address = +358405202000
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: SMS Message Type = SMS-DELIVER
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: Sender address len = 12
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: Sender Address =
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: PID = 00
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: DCS = 00
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: Anticipated user data length = 8
20:34:00:923 [2] ThreadProcessModem: Message = Ldjmgmg
20:34:00:933 [2] ThreadProcessModem: AT+CMGD=1

20:34:01:264 [2] ThreadProcessModem:
OK

As you can see from the log, "Sender address" is empty. Is that ok, or why would it be so? I was thinking that if it cant get the sender's number, of course it can't send an SMS back? The number I sent the test message from is a normal listed number, not an unlisted one.

Well anyway, I can send SMS messages just fine, but I can't get it to send anything back when trying to use this 2-way SMS.

I am using a Nokia data cable and an old 7110 phone. Thanks for any help. This seems like a really nice piece of software, if I can get it to work. ;)

We placed a software update onto the web site late on Monday. That version had a bug in 2-way SMS, exactly as you describe above. We updated the software download on the web site just a few hours ago to fix this problem.

Only the SMSGWS.EXE is affected, as you've provided your e-mail address in the posting, I'll go ahead and e-mail you a ZIP with just the updated SMSGWS.EXE.

Ok, that explains a lot. :)

Yes, if you'd be so kind and mail the .exe file to my email, it would be most appriciated! And thank you for the quick reply.
