1. Is there such a list/forum thread that is being updated (I'm sure it's not the first time someone is quering for it )
2. Specifically , does the Sonny Erricson GM29 GSM Modem is capable of performing valid 2waySMS operation using NowSMS SMSC ?

Thanks,

This thread has more of a focus on phones rather than modems ... http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4218.html ... because basically, if a modem says that it is a GSM modem, then it should work, unless there is something defective about it. (Although there are issues with some PC card modems, like the Nokia D211/D311, which support sending only, not receiving.)

I've had discussions with a number of people using the SonyEricsson GM29, and no reports of unusual problems.

When using a dedicated external modem, I generally recommend using the "SMS Storage" setting of "Direct to Modem" for best results. (This setting generally doesn't work well with phones as modems.)
