I want to configure NOW SMS using Clickatell service. I want to use HTTP service. Clickatell send sms using the foll command http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?session_id=xxxx&to=xxxx&text=xxxx . I tried entering in the same format but it does not work. | |||

I have the same problem, I need to configure SMSC via HTTP over TCPIP with a service provider using URL http://www.sms2email.com/sms/postmsg.php? and it takes the following variables: to_num= orig= message= username= password= my other NowSMS settings are: hostname:http://www.sms2email.com Port Number:80 username:my_account_name password:my_password The NowSMS checked and validated HTTP session in enabled for the URL and I sent a test message to mobile device but from NowSMS URL interface but never received at the end. I suspected my URL template text and URL template Binary settings could be wrong. I used custom server type with URL Template text: /?PhoneNumber=@@to_num@@&Text=@@message@@ Notice from the URL template text above, I have substituted variables expected on the SMSC service provider. Has anyone configured a fully working SMSC connection using HTTP over TCPIP? Neil | |||

Dhiram, The HTTP SMSC settings for Clickatell can be found in the following discussion thread: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/136.html If possible, I recommend that you enable the SMPP option on your Clickatell account, and configure an SMPP SMSC connection instead, as this offers finer control over binary SMS messaging. -bn | |||

Neil, I think you're close, but you've got the @@ symbols around the wrong variables. The "@@" variables are values that we replace with the values from the actual message that is being submitted. Based upon the information in your message, I would suggest configuring as follows: hostname:www.sms2email.com Port Number:80 username:my_account_name password:my_password Send login credentials using HTTP Authorization haeaders: CHECKED Server type: CUSTOM URL Template text: /?to_num=@@PhoneNumber=@@&message=@@Text@@ Sender Address: (leave blank) Remove "+" from Recipient Phone Number: CHECKED Send long messages without segmentation: NOT checked Support any outbound message traffic: CHECKED Unfortunately, I do not know what the template would be for binary messages. | |||

Bryce, The settings on http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/136.html did not work. | |||

Dhiram, What happens? One of the most common problems is that people include the "***" in the example, when those characters are only present to draw attention to them. -bn | |||
