Yes, I'll try.

I want to send MMS messages between cell phones. Today, I can only send MMS messages from the Web Interface.

How can I configure the NowSMS to send MMS messages between cell phones?

Ok, I understand.

You need to configure the MMS settings on the mobile phone. The procedure varies between different phones, but somewhere in the phone configuration there is a setting for "MMSC Message Server URL" (terminology can vary quite a bit ... on Nokia phones, the setting that I am referrnig to is the "Home Page" in the MMS connection profile). You need to set this URL so that it points to your NowSMS installation.

The URL format is:

http://ipaddress:port/username=password

Where "ipaddress" is the IP address or host name for connecting to the NowSMS PC.

"Port" is the "HTTP Port Number" that is configured on the "MMSC" page of the configuration dialog.

"Username" and "Password" refer to an alias and password defined for an account on the "MMSC Users" page. (One caveat, sometimes people experience problems when there is only one account defined on the "MMSC Users" page, so define at least two.)

The MMS client also has settings for what WAP profile to use for connections. You would normally set these to be the same values as you use for the WAP browser.

Here's a link that might have some more information:
