im using api.clickatell.com port 80 as my smsc domain and ive signed up to clickatell and everything and i cannot get sms to work with nowsms. i think i typing the URL template and the URL template binary incorrectly, does anybody know what to put for these fields, cheers

currently i have these fields set as:-

url template =
/http/sendmsg?api_id=apiid-here&user=username here&password=password here&PhoneNumber=@@PhoneNumber@@&Text=@@Text@@

url template binary =
/http/sendmsg?api_id=my api id here&user=my username here&password=my password here&PhoneNumber=@@PhoneNumber@@&Binary=1&Data=@@Data@@&UDH=@@UDH@@&pid=@@pid@@&dcs=@@dcs@@

These are the settings that I have used in the past:

URL Template text: /http/sendmsg?api_id=**APIid**&user=**username**&password=**password**&to=@@PhoneNumber@@&text=@@Text@@

URL Template binary: /http/sendmsg?api_id=**APIid**&user=**username**&password=**password**&to=@@PhoneNumber@@&udh=@@UDH@@&text=@@Text@@

For binary they autodetect that the message is binary. They don't support the setting of the PID or DCS values, but the defaults they use are fine for the basic types of binary messages that NowSMS supports.

P.S. - If something doesn't seem to be working right, enable debug mode in the gateway. Do this by manually editing SMSGW.INI, and adding Debug=Yes under the [SMSGW] section header. Restart the gateway.

Then take a look at the SMSDEBUG.LOG, and you can see what command was actually sent out, and what was received back.

ive just done all that and checked the log file and its not actually connecting to api.clickatell.com.

in the nowsms setting i have set the proxy server address as well and the proxy server accepts connection on ports 80, 21, 443 and 3128 so i dunno why its not connecting.

Best bet is to e-mail that SMSDEBUG.LOG to nowsms@now.co.uk.

I might not be able to get back to you until over the weekend, but if you send the message, we'll see if we can make some sense out of why the settings are not working through the HTTP proxy.
