I'm currently using SmsNow with a GSM connection and 2 way SMS interactivity - it works very well. I would like to associate multiple commands to an identical keyword received by SmsNow, say an http request (wap push) AND a text response at the same time. Is it possible to associate 2 or more commands to a same keyword (Sms Command Prefix) received by SmsNow and if this is the case what is the separator to be used between the commands? Thank you, Chris PS: I am based in the US and Using T-mobile Gsm Connection. Is there any solution or best carrier to send cross Carrier Wap Push? Is there a provider which will route WapPush commands to most US cariers using Sms Now/Http commands? | |||

Hi Chris, I routed a response back to you via your e-mail inquiry, but I wanted to follow-up by posting it here as well. == Yes, you can do this, but your script has to actually initiate an HTTP request to NowSMS to do this. If you're just responding back with one message, then you can either return a text response ... or a redirect response. But if you want to send multiple messages, your script needs to issue an HTTP request back to NowSMS to do this. It is not very difficult, I know there are some PHP examples referenced in the PHP examples referenced by the following newsletter: http://www.nowsms.com/newsletter/20040525.htm (A simple ASP example of a script initiating an HTTP request to NowSMS for sending a message can be found here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/14081.html) Regarding, cross-carrier WAP push in the US ... I'm not aware of any great options. Higher end SMS service providers like Mobile 365 and Simplewire have no problem delivering WAP push messages to the GSM carriers (T-Mobile and Cingular), but I haven't seen any providers that claim to be able to do this for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel). Binary SMS messaging into the CDMA operators seems to be a very big challenge. Cross-carrier MMS is generally possible using GSM/GPRS modems, because most of the US operators are now interconnected for MMS. But binary SMS messaging remains a problem. | |||

Hi Bryce Following on from your response. I'm looking to use NowSMS for a cross-carrier MMS service. I have been researching which carrier is the best to go with for this. Have you come across which carriers can handle cross-carrier MMS? Have you heard of anything that would help pick the best (service/price)? Thanks Russell | |||

Hi Russell, Of the two major GSM operators in the US, it appears that Cingular has better MMS interconnectivity with the other operators. I may be wrong, but based upon what I have read, there is no MMS interconnectivity between T-Mobile and Verizon. However, Cingular does appear to be interconnected with all of the other majors. -bn | |||
