I am using a GSM modem to send messages and I have a problem with the international code. The SIM card I used doesn’t accept numbers without the (+) sign while all mobile numbers came from database without it. For example: Number saved in the database like: 20122755652 and it should be +20122755652 to go out from the modem. Is there any parameter can I add in SMSGW.INI file to add the (+) sign as a prefix before any numbers? | |||

Hi Ahmed, Unfortunately there is no parameter or setting that will apply this automatically. It's a good idea for future versions, but there is no setting at present. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Thanks for reply. But what about the work around solutions? Can NowSMS executes a script on req files to add the (+) sign before sending them? Is there any solution for this problem? | |||

How are the messages being submitted to NowSMS. what protocol? How does the list of numbers get transferred over to NowSMS. Maybe there is a way somewhere in this path if you can explain your process. -- Des | |||

It is submitted and transferred via SMPP connection. | |||

Are messages also going out of NowSMS using SMPP? If so, under properties of the SMPP connection in NowSMS, go to Advanced Settings and set the Destination TON value to 1. This will force the recipient address to international format. -- Des | |||

No, they are going out through a GSM modem. | |||

Sorry, I should have known that from your earlier message. Is there any way to set destination TON to 1 in the sending SMPP client? (This is what signals the number is in international format.) | |||
