Sir, How to handle the following scenario.... The ESME will receive MOSMS with the cell phone's origin address, using the MIN Mobile Identification Number. This number is NOT the same as the International number (51 + city code + number) or (51 + MDN), despite the fact that in some cases, the 51 prefix is handled. Conversion from phone number to MIN is made based on a table, which will be provided by MOVISTAR. Some examples of MINs based on the subscriber's telephone number are: 199953337 5119953337 196469999 1116469999 The MIN is always a ten-digit number. Thanks and regards Shiby | |||

Hi Shiby, I assume that you cannot reply back to these source addresses, which is why a conversion is required? There are not any facilities in NowSMS that would perform the type of conversion that you describe. If you are trying to implement a 2-way script that needs to reply back to a phone number other than the original sender (after completing your lookup), then you need to use the "redirect" approach. Instead of having your 2-way script return a text response directly to NowSMS, the script returns an HTTP URL that can specify an alternate recipient (or recipients) for the message. This "redirect" technique is described in the following document: http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-003.htm Basically, the HTTP URL that you return is a new URL as if you were submitting a new message directly to NowSMS. For more information on these URL formats, see http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/url_pa rameters_for_sending_messages.htm -- Malcolm Now Wireless Support | |||
