What is the GSM modem that you are using? (Phones that use the Symbian OS, such as the Nokia 6600/6620/3650/7650/92x0, do not support receiving SMS messages over the GSM modem interface.) Do you have any commands defined in the "2-way" dialog's "Received SMS Command Table"? If not, then NowSMS will write any received SMS messages to the SMS-IN subdirectory beneath the directory in which NowSMS is installed. Other things to check: Go to the "SMSC" page of the NowSMS config, highlight your modem definition, and press "Properties". Make sure that "Receive SMS Messages" is checked. On the "2-way" page, make sure that "Process Received Messages" is checked. However, for troubleshooting purposes, remove all commands from the "Received SMS Command Table". Send another message in to the modem. Does a file appear in the SMS-IN subdirectory? If yes, then try defining a command again. The most common problems that we see in this area are: 1.) Attempting to use one of the phones that do not support receiving SMS over the GSM modem interface (such as Symbian OS phones mentioned above, also the Nokia D211). 2.) A problem in the definition of the "Received SMS Command Table". A lot of people try to define commands that will open a window on the PC screen ... however NowSMS runs as a service, and it cannot open windows on the desktop. It is designed to run executable programs or connect to HTTP scripts in the background. 3.) Sending to the wrong phone number. You might want to put the SIM from the modem into a phone for a few minutes and verify that you are able to receive SMS messages sending to that phone number with the SIM in an actual phone. If this doesn't help you, then let me know what GSM modem you are using. Also, try enabling the NowSMS debug log, which you can do by manually editing SMSGW.INI, and adding Debug=Yes under the [SMSGW] section header. Then restart the service, and send in another message. Post the resulting SMSDEBUG.LOG that is generated. -bn | |||

Here's the process that I usually recommend for troubleshooting receive problems: Enable receive messages for the GSM modem or SMSC connection. (Highlight the entry in the "SMSC" page of our configuration dialog, then press "Properties", and there will be an option for enabling receive if it is not already enabled.) On the "2-way" page of our configuration dialog, check "Process Received SMS Messages". But, initially don't define any commands in the command table. I recommend this for troubleshooting purposes. Apply the changes, and restart the NowSMS SMS service. Send an SMS message to the phone number for which you are receiving messages. If everything is ok, NowSMS should receive the message and create a file in the SMS-IN subdirectory with a .SMS file extension. (NowSMS will create this directory automatically the first time it receives a message.) If NowSMS is not seeing any received messages, then verify the phone number is correct. If it is a GSM modem, then it is possible that the modem does not support receiving SMS messages over the GSM modem interface. This is the case with any smart phones that use the Symbian OS, such as Nokia Series 60 phones (7650/3650/6600/6620, also 92x0/7600), they only support the GSM modem interface for sending messages. Another device that does not support receiving SMS messages over the GSM modem interface is the Nokia D211 (and this limitation likely also exists in the D311). If it is not one of these devices, and you are not able to receive messages, what device are you using? Assuming that the message files are being created when messages are received, go back to the "2-way" page of the configuration dialog, and define a command in the command table. Specify a command prefix of "*". If you are using a version that has a "receive phone" prompt, leave that blank (it is for defining different commands for messages received on different phone numbers). In the "Command to Execute" field, you will define an http:// link to a script that runs on one of your web servers. Use a format for the link like this: http://ip.address/recvsms.cgi?sender=@@SENDER@@&text=@@FULLSMS@@ NowSMS will replace @@SENDER@@ in the URL with the phone number of the message sender, and @@FULLSMS@@ will contain the text of the message. So you can process this with whatever scripting language you want to use.
