Hello, I am trying to send an sms to an international number on a specific port. The url I use to post the message (through java) is http://127.0.0.1:8800/?&phonenumber=011919350564831&text=SampleText&destport=500 0 The sms gateway is in the USA with carrier ATT. When I do not specify the destination port, the sms is received by the client phone inbox. When I specify the destination port as 5000 the client phone midlet is not receiving the message, even though it is listening for it. The only settings I did on the gateway are 'Set 2Way' tab to process incoming sms messages. Is there anything I need to set? I would really appreciate some help here. Regards Amar | |||

Hi Amar, I'm not sure why this message didn't get a reply. Because of the mix of GSM and CDMA operators in the United States, there is a lack of binary interoperability when sending messages across carriers. Attributes like user data header, tend to get lost ... if the message even makes it at all. From past experience, we've had better luck sending binary messages from T-Mobile US to international destinations, but not AT&T. (This may have changed ... several years ago, T-Mobile could send binary messages to AT&T, but not vice versa. But that capability disappeared when messaging interconnects between the two operators changed.) -bn | |||
