Hi, I am trying to set up your gateway software with BULKSMS. I have read the threads already posted but have not had any success yet. I have set up exactly as shown in thread http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/115.html but with a couple of minor differences. It appears they are now using a different port number and eapi version. My settings are shown below Host Name: bulksms.vsms.net Port Number: 5567 Username & Password: Username and password for the bulksms.net service Send login credentials via HTTP header - NOT checked Server type: Custom URL Template Text: /eapi/submission/send_sms/1/current?username=@@UserName@@&password=@@Password@@&message=@@Text@@&msisdn=@@PhoneNumber@@ URL Template Binary: /eapi/submission/send_sms/1/current?username=@@UserName@@&password=@@Password@@&dca=8bit&message=@@UDH@@@@Data@@&msisdn=@@PhoneNumber@@ Remove "+" from Recipient phone number: CHECKED Send long messages without segmentation: NOT checked It appears I connect Ok but then I get a message in my smsdebug log saying Invalid credentials. I have an account set up with them and the username and password used is definitely correct. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have attached my smsdebug file. Many thanks Dan

Hi Dan, Based upon the information on their web page, the information that you have configured on our end looks correct. Can you try issuing a URL to send a message directly from the web browser? Does that work? | ||||

Thanks for the prompt response Bryce, I have just sent a message directly from the browser which worked correctly. What does this imply? Sorry I am a complete novice at this. Many thanks Dan | ||||

Bryce, Just got it working it should have been a host name of www.bulksms.co.uk instead. Out of interest is it possible to customise the web interface? Many thanks Dan | ||||

Dan, Good detective work! The user interface for NowSMS is all basic HTML files, stored in the HTML subdirectory of NowSMS. (There is a little bit of JavaScript added for the address book functionality in v5.50, but it is still pretty basic stuff.) Those files can be edited, or another thing that you can do is write scripts on your own server that perform posts to NowSMS for the functionality that you want to provide. There is a PHP example in the following thread, where someone wanted to have a form on their web server which called their own script, and had that script interface to NowSMS: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/3692.html That kind of approach can allow you to submit messages from your application without opening up all of the NowSMS functionality directly to the users. -bn | ||||
