We have an application that supports only SNPP or WCTP. I can't find anything in NOWSMS about either. Is there any add-on or upgrade that will support these protocols?

Thanks.
Glenn.

Sorry Glenn,

NowSMS does not support either of those protocols. We have looked at SNPP in the past, but it isn't widely enough implemented. This is the first time I can recall being asked about it.

I had to look up WCTP because I was not familiar with it.

The protocols look fairly simple, but I'm not sure how much of a demand there is for supporting these protocols. If you want to explore this further, I'd suggest discussing the business case with our product manager. Keith Norris would be the best contact if you're not already in contact with him.

Thanks. I don't think a business case is indicated. We can buy other products which do it, just would have been easier if yours did as we have it here already for other functions. Maybe Castlerock will look at implementing SMPP as an option for SNMPc. Now I have email to (Now)SMS working, that can be an interim step, just relies on more infrastructure working for the notifications to go out. Will look into moving NowSMS onto the SNMPc machine and sending email to localhost to get around that problem.
