Hi Jakosoko,

I'm not really sure where to start. It depends on where you have the most questions.

Our system is pretty easy for sending/receiving messages. To submit messages to the gateway, you use HTTP ... similarly you can have the gateway call your HTTP script when a message is received.

The trickiest bit is really finding the right SMS service provider to meet your needs.

Hi,

I need some more information about what exactly is occurring in your setup ... i.e., how you are processing the messages.

It would help to see a debug log from your system that shows what is going on. To place the gateway into debug mode, manually edit the SMSGW.INI file, and add Debug=Yes under the [SMSGW] section header. Then restart the gateway service. The gateway will produce an SMSDEBUG.LOG file as it runs. You can either post excerpts of that file here, or e-mail it to nowsms@now.co.uk.
