Hi Bryce,

I have configured the NOW SMS gateway as follows:
1.Created an SMS user,enabled SMPP login for the user and in the text box below entered 98*(i.e. for numbers starting with 98)

2.In the SMSC connection tab, entered the phone number( with a '-' separating 5-5 digits of the SIM number of the modem).I have selected Receive SMS and route to the user created in 1.

3.In the WEB interface, entered the SMPP port number(8800 in this case)

4.In the MMSC VASP dialog,added the IP address of the SMPP server and have accepted connection via MM7,MM4 etc.

Problem persists when I try to send an SMS to the modem to be routed back to the user created.However it is either being delivered to the Modem (Nokia 6630 GSM phone in this case) or nothing happening at all.

I tried to check the SMPPDEBUG.LOG file but it is not being created at all.Although I have checked for the same in the Serial# dialog.

Please advice.

Just to add on to this, let me inform you that in the SMSC dialog, I have only added the GSM phone through USB to act as the modem and I have not added the SMSC connection details here. Do I need to do that?

It was giving the error , bind error 10488 ,so I changed the port of the web interface to 8802..However the problem persists. See the contents of smsdebug.log below:

Hi Supratik,

The Nokia 6630 is a Series 60 device, these devices support sending SMS over the GSM modem interface, but they do not support receiving over this interface. Therefore, any messages sent to the phone stay on the phone and cannot be retrieved over the GSM modem interface by Nowsms. This is a limitation of Nokia Series 60 devices.

Here is a link to a good discussion of GSM modem options...http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/16398.html
