Installed my Siemens MC35 gprs modem now and nowsms connects just fine to it via com1. But hte all the fun starts. If i send a sms from a gd87, the sms comes to the modem fine, but nowsms does nothing. Other model i have tried with works fine. The sms comes in fine. But when sending a mms to it from another phone, a lot of unwanted stuff happends. Nowsms sees the incoming message. Creates a temp .SAR file in the sms-in folder. It then changes the .SAR to .IN and tries to fetch the mms url. This is the content of the .IN file: [SMS-IN] Sender=55555 UDH=0605040B8423F0 pid=39 dcs=F5 Binary=1 Data=E406226170706C69636174696F6E2F766E642E7761702E6D6D732D6D65737361676500AF848 C8298507568776F63436F38584941414853424141414141674141414B674141414141008D9189178 02B343532383630303837392F545950453D504C4D4E008A808E0210838805810303F47F836874747 03A2F2F3139322E3136382E3234312E3131343A383030322F507568776F63436F385849414148534 24141414141674141414B67414141414100 Now i take a look at the sms debug.log It says this: 14:26:57:535 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing 3EE86DF9.in... 14:26:57:535 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing WAP Push Message 14:26:57:535 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing MMS message 14:26:57:535 [3] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: MMS Content-location: http://192.168.241.114:8002/PuhwocCo8XIAAHSBAAAAAgAAAKgAAAAA 14:26:57:535 [3] RetrieveURL: Retrieving http://192.168.241.114:8002/PuhwocCo8XIAAHSBAAAAAgAAAKgAAAAA Over and over again. It cannot reach it somehow. If i install my GSM modem without gprs, it retrieves the mms file perfectly. Just as it should do. Am i doing something wrong ? IS there any special stuff i should pay attention to when using the MC35 or gprs modems? ;)Lars | |||

In addition. If i take the simcard from the modem and puts it into my Nokia 7650, and then sends the same mms again, the Nokia 7650 downloads it fine. | |||

Okay! I see the point of the smsc firewalling their smsc. At least one big telco in Denmark is doing just that. So the only solution is to wait for your version 5.0 ? Or do you have any secret tricks?  | |||

Lars, You got it ... that's the problem. The MMSC there is actually on a private IP address in the 192.168.x.x range. There are games that you can try to play, setting up a dial-up profile with a permanent connection and a static route for the MMSC over the connection. But it is pretty awkward ... and in most situations, you'll find that you can't even access that MMSC directly over GPRS, you have to go through a WAP gateway over the GPRS connection, and use the WAP gateway as a proxy to the MMSC. I think we'll shortly have a pretty good solution that handles all of this. In order to fetch a message like that, we'll initiate a GPRS connection, and talk to the MMSC through the operator's WAP gateway. -bn | |||

Okay i undestand. Ofcourse i will wait. Can you tell me for about how long? Hope it's not too unpolitely to ask of that  I think it will be too timeconsuming to write some code to the modem, to retrieve the mms itself. ;)Lars | |||

Lars, I wish I had the answer. We were targetting next week, but that is currently looking unlikely. I hope we can make it available as a beta at worst before the end of this month. We do plan to release it as a beta first, because we're going to need feedback on how it works in different environments since this whole area is somewhat complex. Routing the request through a WAP gateway is the worst part of all this, but our tests showed that this was going to be necessary in quite a few setups. Luckily we do have some expertise in that area. Right now we're just working on the modem handling for all of this, as its a bit messy switching modes for SMS vs. GPRS access. In our current internal build, I have to do this with two modems. -bn | |||

I fully undestand Bryce. Remember to sign me up as beta-tester ;) I have about 10 different mms phones now, and a couple of gprs modems and simcards, and i really need it ;) ;)Lars | |||

No problem. We're going to post it here, so you'll see it. We'll probably also set up a separate discussion board for v5.0 beta specific issues. | |||
