Hi, I'm in USA with Nokia 6270 on T-Mobil. I'm trying to use the phone as modem. the NowSMS software recognized the phone. the Test (button) result is successful. But: .: I can't receive SMS into NowSMS. .: I can't send SMS out from NowSMS web interface. Question: does NowSMS works with Nokia 6270, even the test is ok? BTW, anybody knows how to setup 6270 work with t-zone in US, such as receiving MMS? Thanks! | |||

BTW, the phone is unlocked. I used US SIM and China Mobile SIM just fine. | |||

well, sending message works! It just a bit slow and also works behind sense, so to speak. No trace at all on my 6270. Guess that how modem works. | |||

Hi, The Nokia 6270 should be ok for both sending and receiving SMS. (Nokia Series 60 phones have a limitation that their GSM modem interface implementation only supports sending ... not receiving. However, I believe the 6270 is a series 40 model.) The following thread has some general 2-way troubleshooting steps for configuring 2-way SMS and receiving SMS messages ... http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html. You will not be able to receive MMS messages with NowSMS using that phone as a modem. In general, this is a limitation of using a mobile phone as your GSM modem. In every mobile phone GSM modem that I have seen, the MMS client in the mobile phone will always intercept MMS messages so that they will not be forwarded over the GSM modem interface. A dedicated GSM/GPRS modem device is required in order to be able to receive MMS. For sending MMS, see the general information about configuring a connection to send MMS via a GPRS modem here: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm That particular link has not been updated for NowSMS 2006 yet (the PDF has, but not the HTML web pages). In NowSMS 2006, there is a "Lookup Operator Settings" button that you can use, and T-Mobile's MMS settings can be selected from the list. -bn | |||
