I'm currently evaluating NowSMS 5.0 for the company i'm with. Our company are connecting via SMPP to a local telco SMSC.

My question is:

1)
HOW CAN I GET THE SMS TIMESTAMP WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE SMSC?

2)
IS THERE ANY PARAMETER THAT IS AVAILABLE E.G. SIMILAR TO @@SENDER@@ OR @@FULLSMS@@?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry, but the format of the deliver message in the SMPP specification does not include a "timestamp" field.

So there isn't a way that we could make this information available to you, because it is not available to us.

We have had a number of questions in this area, and it might be possible for us to add an option to present the timestamp for when the message was delivered to NowSMS, but we cannot get a timestamp from the SMSC.
